Roman mosaics

Roman mosaics are intricate artworks created by assembling small pieces of colored stones, glass, or tiles called tesserae into detailed images and patterns. They adorned the floors, walls, and ceilings of Roman buildings, showcasing scenes from mythology, daily life, and nature. Using precise techniques, Roman artisans achieved vivid colors and durable designs that have lasted for centuries. These mosaics reflect the Romans’ appreciation for artistry, craftsmanship, and storytelling, serving both decorative and cultural purposes in ancient Roman society.
