Beschreibung

Mosaic has been called "painting for eternity," and it is in fact one of the few arts of antiquity to survive in something like its original condition and variety. The first survey on this subject to be illustrated in full color will be an essential visual reference for every student of classical antiquity, and a source of considerable delight for art lovers.
