Tessera 46. Mosaic of Fuente de la Peñuela (Santisteban del Puerto, Jaén, Spain)

Light red tessera from the mosaic of the Roman villa of Fuente de la Peñuela (Santisteban del Puerto, Jaén, Spain). It is located in the clothing of the figures in the scene on the right (Achilles on the island of Skyros). Raman analysis indicates the presence of quartz (SiO2), and X-ray fluorescence shows a high silicon content, less calcium, and smaller amounts of aluminum and iron. The raw material used in its manufacture was therefore a calcareous sandstone.
