While the design scheme of this mosaic in Room I-20 (as far as it can be determined) cannot be said to be similar to that in Room I-17 (SUs 8402, 8403, 8409, 8410, 8411), the dimensions of the tesserae in 8392 are the same - that is, somewhat larger than the smaller tesserae of the mosaics in Room I-10 and I-18. This probably reflects a choice based on design or room function (e.g. higher traffic atrium/tablinum [Room I-17/I-20] in need of a more resilient floor, vs. a finer, more detailed mosaic in more private or more decorative (dining?) rooms [I-10/I-18]), but it alternatively might reflect different phases of construction.

Previous interpretation of this mosaic's relationship with SU 8179 (i.e. it abuts and therefore is in phase with the use of the wall plug) was made in the field. Upon later inspection of the photos, however, this relationship might not be as clear since a layer of mortar obscures the interface between 8179 and 8392. Further investigation is necessary to clarify this relationship in order to determine whether the mosaic (8392) was in phase with the wall plug or an earlier construction phase of Room I-20.

Mosaic abuts SU 8179 signifying the usage of the mosaic floor surface in phase with the disuse of the entrance between SUs 8203 and 8180.
