Mosaic of Queen Berenice II

Floor mosaic of Queen Berenice II wife of Ptolemy III Evergete. The border features an intricate design surrounding the central image of the queen. The mosaic was once thought to represent the city of Alexandria due to the presence of a crowned bust of a woman with the prow of a ship, dressed in Hellenistic military dress and depicted with large eyes as the Ptolemies used to do.
