Too beautiful to leave out - a marble sculpture
The walls and floors of the great rooms and court yards in the ancient mansions of the wealthy Romans used to be covered in precious works of art, many made from glass mosaic tiles, which have not lost their colour nor their impact over millennia.
Depending on the function of the room, mosaics depicted ingredients for sumptious meals in dining rooms (fish, fruit, game, vegetables, wine) , ornamental art in living- and bedrooms (hunting scenes, games scenes or mythological legends) - some mosaics being several meters high and wide - all stunning in their beauty, design, composition, colour, content and especially detail.
Here a portrait gallery of Roman Citizens and Roman deities.
