What are facts about mosaics?
Five facts that I thought were interesting about Roman mosaics are that the design of how the tesserae will be laid out is scratched into a thin layer of mortar first, then the tesserae were placed on the mortar, following the pattern. Also, sometimes to make the mosaics very strong, they made a foundation out of broken stones and gravel, then put the mortar down and laid the tesserae out. Another fact I thought was interesting is that the way they designed mosaics is they had books called "pattern books" that had some designs to choose from. Sadly, none have survived. A fourth fact is that Roman mosaic artists almost never signed their work. Lastly, some of the first mosaics were made from colored rocks and pebbles instead of tesserae.

What were the techniques of roman and Greek mosaics?
There were two main techniques: The opus vermiculatum used tiny tesserae (cubic tiles), 4 millimeters. The mosaics were made in workshops. They were put on panels which were glued on mortar backing on site. The tiny tesserae enabled very fine detail which made mosaics look like painting. The opus tessellatum was the most common technique and used larger tesserae, which was laid on site.
How did Byzantine artists create mosaics?
Byzantine artists created mosaics by arranging small pieces of colored glass or stone into intricate patterns and designs. The pieces were often set in plaster or cement to form large-scale images.
