#roman mosaics

Just published a new blog post presenting a new theory as to why pre-Byzantine mosaics are scarcely mentioned in the history of art. Read about it here: http://helenmilesmosaics.org/ancient-mosaics-general/mosaics-in-the-history-of-art/

Coming soon - a new blog post about the dearth of pre Byzantine mosaics in the history of art. Here’s an early example of how Roman mosaics have been treated as something lesser and not worthy of attention: fragments in the floor of the Byzantine church of San Vitale, Ravenna.

Lesser known mosaics from local museums off the beaten track in Greece are included in this fully illustrated Comprehensive Guide to the Mosaics of Greece: http://helenmilesmosaics.org/mosaic-sites/guide-mosaics-greece/

Mosaics above from 1. Dion 2. Sparta and 3. Hypati, Greece.
