Smalti is a type of glass mosaic tile traditionally used in art and decoration, particularly in Byzantine mosaics. It is characterized by its vibrant colors and opaque finish, which allows it to create rich visual effects when assembled in patterns. Smalti tiles are often handmade, resulting in variations in size and thickness, and they are typically used in intricate designs for walls, ceilings, and artworks. The material is valued for its durability and ability to withstand weather, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects.

What material is used to make the mosaics for the Galla Placidia Mausoleum and is there a resource in which to research this?
The mosaics of Ravenna are made with a glass tile called Smalti. Smalti is a handmade, handcut glass made today in much the same way that it has been made for the last 2000 years. It's well know for its vibrant colors and reflectivity. There are only three producers of authentic traditional smalti today, all of which are in Italy. The oldest is Angelo Orsoni of Venice, Italy. To find more information about smalti, you can go to www.mosaicsmalti.com where there is detailed information about the production of Orsoni smalti and mosaic gold.

What date did the Romans make mosaics?
What most people understand as the classic Roman floor mosaics can be dated to start around the 2nd century BC. These continued to around the 6th century AD where floor mosaics (made from small pieces of stone all around the same size range) were gradually replaced by what is known as Opus Sectile. This was a pattern made using tiles cut to a specific shape. Mosaic work continued after that date but it was mostly the wall and ceiling/vault mosaics made with piece of cut glass, known as smalti.
