Ancient Roman Mosaics

Ancient Roman Mosaics

In this gallery you’ll discover a collection of fifteen Ancient Roman Mosaics found in Pompeii and other areas of Italy. They come by the book Colored Ornament of all Historical Styles by Alexander Speltz, which was published in 1915. Made from tiny pieces of colored stone, glass, and ceramic called tesserae, they adorned the floors, walls, and even ceilings of homes, public buildings, and baths throughout the Roman Empire. If you are finding these examples of mosaics from Ancient Rome helpful, you should drop by the pages with Art of Pompeii and perhaps some Roman Jewelry. Enjoy!
