The Romans used many subjects and animals for mosaics. They covered whole villas with mosaics on the floors and the paintings in the Vatican are mosaics too. I have been in a villa in Sicily that every floor was covered in mosaics and to see them ramps were put up over them. All sorts of animals and people were pictured. They had lions, tigers, and even girls in swim suits.
