Photographs of Mosaics
One of the earliest mosaics in Britain		A later mosaic, with the central image being Medusa
The remains of the flower mosaic
After this room became a workshop there was no need to replace missing tesserae, just level the floor	When the subsidence is slow, mosaics proove to be very flexible		Sometimes mosaics were layed one on top of another, just as is often done with lino
A mosaic from a villa in Chilgrove Vallley, about 5 miles from Fishbourne
A wide and detailed view of a mosaic with confusing perspective, reminiscent of the pictures by M.C. Escher but nearly 2000 years older!
The "Cupid on a Dolphin" Mosaic
An overview of the mosaic		Detail of the central "Cupid on a Dolphin" motif
A bird in the border, believed to be the mosaicist's signature		Despite laying nearly half a metre of rubble beneath the mosaic, it has still subsided
