Mosaics were decorative items. They had no specific meaning, except perhaps to the person commissioning the artwork. They had various themes ranging from flowers and birds, to gladiatorial scenes, to portraits of people or gods. A mosaic's makeup was entirely up to the taste of the person paying for it.
Roman people usually had their mosaics, that were made especially for them, put in or made into a floor of the house, or sometimes used for patio floors also. The Romans mostly often placed the mosaics in the bathrooms. They decorated it as an image of the sea because it goes with the bath houses. Very matching don't you think? It gives you the image of seeing the bathroom as the ocean.

Early Christian mosaics, like the Parting of Lot and Abraham, often symbolize themes from the Old Testament, such as faith, obedience to God, and divine intervention. These mosaics were used to teach biblical stories and reinforce religious beliefs to the early Christian communities. The Parting of Lot, for example, symbolizes the consequences of sin and the importance of following God's commands.

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.
