Little Donkey

Antinous at the Domus Gelotiana

This fresco depicts young Antinous contemplating his arrival at the Domus Gelotiana. The grafitto on the wall says "Labora aselle quomodo ego laboravi et proderit tibi," which translates into "Work, work little donkey, as I myself have worked, an thou shalt be rewarded for it."
