Roman mosaics are decorative artworks made from small pieces of colored stone, glass, or ceramic called tesserae. These mosaics were commonly used to adorn floors, walls, and ceilings in Roman homes, public buildings, and baths. They often depicted scenes from mythology, nature, or daily life, showcasing the skill and artistry of ancient craftsmen. The creation of a mosaic involved careful planning and design, with artisans arranging tesserae to form intricate patterns and images. Roman mosaics not only served an aesthetic purpose but also demonstrated the wealth and status of the owner. Many surviving examples can be found in archaeological sites across Europe and the Mediterranean.
