How do the Roman and Byzantie mosaics differ?
In a very simplified form: Roman mosaics, small pieces of cut stone (tesserae) about 8mm - 12mm in size set together to make patterns and other images as a floor. Taken from the Greeks (about 2nd century BC) they were eventually replaced from around the 6th century AD by Opus Sectile, (patterns on the floor made up with larger, cut to shape pieces of stone tile). Byzantine mosaics, the tesserae were cut from piece of coloured glass called smalti. These were then made to create mosaics on the walls and ceilings of the first Christian churches.

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.
