Ancient Mosaics of the Mediterranean
Rome has some world-class, although somewhat off the beaten path, mosaics that will reward the curious traveler. Because mosaics are a part of a site’s architecture and cannot travel to museums, viewing them is unique to travelers. Mosaic art began as a long-lasting (not to mention an easy-to-clean) floor covering in Mediterranean cultures. Although the first use of mosaics was in the 10th century BCE in Mesopotamia (Turkey), the art form was perfected under the Greeks who created beautiful, highly realistic mosaics that imitated paintings. Some of the world’s greatest ancient mosaics can be viewed in Italy (Sicily, Venice, Ravenna, Rome and Naples) and other areas in the Mediterranean. Learn more about ancient mosaic sites in Rome…
