Ancient mosaic returns to Rome after stint as a New York coffee table A 2000-year-old Roman artefact that once graced an emperor’s ship, before ending up in the home of a Manhattan antiquities dealer, is now in an Italian museum. A first-century mosaic from the deck of one of Caligula’s lavish ceremonial ships went on display at a museum in Nemi, Italy, last Thursday.  AP Save Share If stones could speak, the mosaic unveiled recently at an archaeological museum just south of Rome would have quite the tale to tell. It was crafted in the first century AD for the deck of one of two spectacularly decorated ships on Lake Nemi that the emperor Caligula commissioned as floating palaces. Recovered from underwater wreckage in 1895, the mosaic was later lost for decades, only to re-emerge several years ago as a coffee table in the living room of a New York City antiques dealer.
