House of the Faun Mosaic (Alexander Mosaic), Pompeii, Italy
The Alexander Mosaic from the House of the Faun — nearly six meters wide, depicting Alexander the Great's victory over Darius III at the Battle of Issus. The original is now in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. Worth the separate trip. © Magrippa, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons
