Emperor Caligula s long-lost mosaic returned to Italy after being used as coffee table in New York

Multi-coloured mosaic that adorned a vast pleasure barge 2,000 years ago finally returned home 11 March 2021 • 6:02pm The mosaic decorated the bridge of one of two barges that were recovered from the bottom of the lake between 1929 and 1932 Credit: Lucia LB. Bianco For centuries, it lay in the mud on the bed of a volcanic lake in Italy, before being dredged up in an operation ordered by Mussolini, and then illegally exported to the United States, where it ended up being used for decades as a coffee table in a Manhattan apartment.
