How were the saints shown in mosaics?
In mosaics, saints were often depicted with distinctive attributes that symbolized their identity, such as specific objects or animals associated with their lives or martyrdom. They were usually shown in a frontal pose, emphasizing their holiness, and often adorned with halos to signify their sanctity. The use of vibrant colors and intricate patterns helped convey a sense of divine light and glory. Mosaics frequently framed saints within architectural elements, enhancing their importance and creating a connection with the divine.
Was fresco painting was not common in Byzantine art?
Fresco painting was indeed less common in Byzantine art compared to other forms of decoration, such as mosaics. While frescoes were used, particularly in church interiors, the Byzantine aesthetic heavily favored mosaics due to their luminosity and durability.

What are Roman mosaics used for?
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.
