*Anton heads inside, and he finds that the inside of the large round room seems to be mostly bare, at least where the light shines, though there are two rows of columns flanking an ancient and decaying carpet that covers the tile along the entry path--only the utter dryness of this place seems to have left the fabric even as intact as it is.*
*Walking along the carpet leads down to a small spiral staircase ending in a huge room below the dome with a shrine in the centre with a large statue surrounded by eight dull gems inlaid around it. Sweeping the outline of the room with the torch, they find in the eight corners of the room are eight mosaics, depicting a thinking ruminating man, a man receiving a sensual massage, a man listening to music, a man performing an intricate ball-related game, a man dancing, a man recalling memories in a thought bubble, a man watching a play, and a man delivering a speech.*
