#Romanmosaics found around the #MediterraneanSea show samples of #fishing scenes and methods. It shows a range of boats, nets, spearing, fish traps, and baskets. This range of methods reflects a wider number of fish species eaten during the period. #coastalhistory

A few pictures from a short well written article about early floor mosaics of Istanbul.
The geometric parts are quite intricate and richly realized by great craftsmen.

In Aventicum lies a marvel hidden like a sock devoured by the washing machine of history: a Roman mosaic labyrinth, exquisite geometric puzzle, no doubt designed to entertain a provincial governor’s ego while his slaves whisper “Come on, it’s just a big floor doodle.”

Tesserae Tuesday (As I forgot Mosaic Monday)
A photo of a Euro 20c beside a partially eroded mosaic pavement to give perspective. The tesserae are embedded in a lime mortar and protrude above the mortar about the same distance as the 20c coin. romanmosaics A very good photo from James Vance (his blog is linked at the end) of tesserae from one of the mosaics at Ostia Antica in Italy. It shows just how deep some of these tesserae were. The questions I feel this brings up are; Seeing as you can have relatively thin marble tesserae for a floor then what dictated the size of tesserae? Was 1. The area they were in, i.e. high foot traffic, private rooms? 2. The size of slabs/tiles they were cut from? 3. The preference of the mosaicists? I don't imagine there is a database of tesserae
