caesar novus Posted November 27, 2025 Report Share Posted November 27, 2025 Above YT short is so devoid of any info that it actually seems too long. Here is a bit better one I posted earlier, but I would appreciate seeing another vid that did more justice to cool Roman mosaics. There are probably fine coffee table books on the subject in landfills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are many glorious Roman mosaic images. From bing on laptop, I like the way you can click on one, hit expand, then rapidly cycle thru the hundred or so with right arrow key in near full screen: https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=roman+mosaic+book&form=HDRSC3&first=1 https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=roman+mosaic&form=HDRSC3&first=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
