 Some 
notes
The mosaic, 
called  also "Plato's Academy", 
  is , at present,   in the National Archaeological Museum in 
Naples  (Museo Archeologico 
Nazionale di Napoli) .
A second 
copy, made around one century after, was   discovered in Sarsina (Italy) in the 
XVIII century and it is now    in the Villa Albani,  in Rome.  
The 
original   has gone lost.
