The term "Memento mori" translates from Latin to "Remember that you will die." It is a symbolic reminder of the inevitability of death and the transient nature of life. The concept has been depicted in various forms of art throughout history, including literature, paintings, and, as mentioned, in Pompeii's ruins.

The mosaic from Pompeii's ruins serves as a poignant representation of this theme. Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near modern Naples, Italy, that was famously destroyed and preserved in AD 79 by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The ruins of Pompeii provide a fascinating glimpse into Roman life and culture during the 1st century AD.
