LOCATION: Pompei, Casa degli Architetti
DESCRIPTION: A Pompei, nella Casa degli Architetti, esiste un mosaico particolare, la cui fotografia appare spesso nei testi che trattano argomenti massonici. Costituiva l’emblema nel pavimento del triclinio e si pensa comunemente che, con la rappresentazione naturalistica del teschio e degli strumenti da muratore, esprime allegoricamente la caducità della vita e l’incombere della morte.

In Pompeii, in the House of Architects, there is a mosaic particular, whose photograph appears frequently in texts dealing with topics Masonic. Was the emblem on the floor of the triclinium and it is commonly thought that, with the naturalistic representation of the skull and the tools of a mason, expresses allegorically the transience of life and impending death.
