Mosaics offer both aesthetic and functional benefits. Aesthetically, they create visually striking artworks by combining diverse materials, colors, and patterns, enhancing the beauty of spaces. Functionally, mosaics are durable and resistant to weathering, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications, such as flooring and wall decoration. Additionally, their versatility allows for intricate designs that can convey cultural or historical significance.

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.

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.
