Mosaics are made up of hundreds of pieces of tiles arranged to make a picture. It must take hours of patience to make such a thing.
This is the most famous mosaic in existence because of its religious subject matter. All other mosaics focus on daily life, animals, or mythology.
Neptune and a seahorse.
Neptune again with a chariot. Our tour guide admitted that Neptune was his favorite god.
The four seasons. Starting at the upper left and going clockwise, it goes from Spring to Winter.
A piece of a larger mosaic covering the story of Ulysses. If you’ve read the Odyssey, you don’t need me to tell you the story. If you haven’t, too bad. It’s waaaay too long.
The largest mosaic known. The women are working on restoring it.
