Roman marine mosaic, illustration
This mosaic contains 20, 00 silicious pebbles is the work of Sosus Pergami who flourished 320 before Christ and is mentioned in the writings of the Elder Pliny. Sosus of Pergamon was a Greek mosaic artist of the 2nd century BC. He is the only mosaic artist whose name was recorded in literature. The earliest examples of Roman mosaic flooring date to the late Republican period (2nd century BC) and are housed in Delos. Roman mosaics are constructed from geometrical blocks called tesserae, placed together to create the shapes of figures, motifs and patterns. Materials for tesserae were obtained from local sources of natural stone, with the additions of cut brick, tile and pottery creating coloured shades of, predominantly, blue, black, red, white and yellow. Polychrome patterns were most common, but monochrome examples are known.
