Abstrakt: A little-studied mosaic from Praeneste represents a scene of a beauty contest, which may be the Judgment of the Goddesses, although possible interpretations also include the contest between Cassiopeia and the Nereids. It has been overlooked that the inscription in the mosaic is metrical: a part of an iambic trimeter. This is probably a fragment of a comedy or a satyr play, from the scene that the mosaic depicts.
