Description:
A concise introduction to the floor mosaics of Roman Britain, dealing with the different periods of mosaic laying from the first century pavements at Fishbourne, to the Hadrianic and Antonine periods, when mosaic was first established in towns. It traces the apparent collapse of the craft in the third century, and the remarkable 4th century revival when many villas were decorated with sophisticated mosaics.
