The stories illustrated in the mosaic pavements, that have survived from Roman Britain, graphically link us to the world of the Romans in a way that literature, with its language barrier, & nuances of interpretation, cannot. After explaining how & why mosaic pavements were made, the author looks at many of the 200 figured.
