Wow.. That’s incredible. So much lost to Alexandria, and it’s nice whenever anything at all is found.
That is just beautiful-detail, color-all of it perfect. I like to do decorative tile work-for customers and for myself-but I’d be lost attempting to put together a mosaic like that one...
Makes me wonder what spectacular knowledge was lost to history when the vast library there was consumed by fire.
What a spectacular mosaic! I marvel at the artistry and craftsmanship.
Mosaics are like ancient, pre-digital, physical pixels.
This is a lost art, in the sense that no one has the time to create these anymore. Artists use pre-fabbed tessarae which never create the ancient handcrafted mosaic appearance.
I didn’t know that the Romans made it to Virginia.
Is that Arabic for Biggus Dickus?..............
Beautiful....thanks for posting.
