Still looking for some graphic of the supposed 3rd century Roman Mosaics that include a Mobius strip... and found another reference to them in :
Mathland: from flatland to hypersurfaces
By Michele Emmer
[click on the graphics to enlarge]
Then I found this from :
Classical topology and combinatorial group theory
By John Stillwell
So... somebody has it wrong....

trust stillwell. i love that book.
haven't actually *seen* it since
the early nineties, mind you.
i did a lecture in chuck livingston's
geometric topology class that i
copped outright from stillwell.
the left- and right- hand
trefoils aren't ambient isotopic.
stuff i used to know, volume MCMXCII.
