Overhead view of the frigidarium of the Baths of the Coachmen (Terme dei Cisiarii, Baths of the Cart Drivers). In the center are four Atlas figures, apparently supporting city walls. Around them are a few marine figures and many carts or carriages pulled by mules. Four of the mules are named: Pudes (Modest), Podagrosus (Lame), Barosus (Silly) and Potiscus (Tipsy).
