Terpsichore, the muse of dance, has a lyre and plectrum, and her billowing dress makes her appear to be swirling around. Her lyre is supported by a strap and she wears a wreath.
She is one of the nine muses shown in the Moregine frescoes, found near Pompeii and displayed in the Palestra Grande, near the amphitheatre #Roman #Archaeology #RomanArchaeology #FrescoFriday
