A white marble relief of a harbor scene featuring a large boat with mast and sail at left. The work is composed in an almost collagelike manner, with numerous objects, people, and vignettes placed throughout at varying scale. These include a group of elephants, a large eyeball, various statues, people laboring, and a looming torch. — Portus Relief, late 2nd–early 3rd century CE
