Roman mosaic

Roman mosaics are intricate artworks created by arranging small, colored stones, glass, or tiles called tesserae into detailed patterns or images on floors and walls. Used extensively in ancient Rome, they showcased scenes from mythology, daily life, or geometric designs, reflecting wealth and artistic skill. The tesserae are tightly packed to form durable, vibrant surfaces that have survived for centuries. Mosaics served both decorative and functional purposes, demonstrating the Romans’ mastery of craftsmanship and their appreciation for beauty in their architecture.
