Image: Roman mosaic depicting a boat on the Nile courtesy of Wikimedia Commons contributor Wolfgang Sauber. Photographed at the National Museum of Wales (Cardiff, UK). Although this boat is clearly on the Nile with its depiction of a hippopotamus and a crocodile, it reminded me of Nero's collapsible boat that he had constructed to transport his mother hoping she would be drowned.
