Mosaics often stood as a social statement about their patron, or the purpose of a building or the commemorate a particular event. Whichever their purpose though mosaics form a central core to our understanding of Roman culture. Much of what is know about Roman use of colour, tools and other daily products has been gleaned from mosaics. Walls might collapse and roofs fall in through neglect, but the mosaics were often left reasonably undamaged beneath the rubble, protected against the passage of time because of their new found barrier and the hardy materials used. |
