What most people understand as the classic Roman floor mosaics can be dated to start around the 2nd century BC. These continued to around the 6th century AD where floor mosaics (made from small pieces of stone all around the same size range) were gradually replaced by what is known as Opus Sectile. This was a pattern made using tiles cut to a specific shape.

Mosaic work continued after that date but it was mostly the wall and ceiling/vault mosaics made with piece of cut glass, known as smalti.
