After explaining how and why mosaic pavements were made, Dr. Patricia Witts looks at many of the 200 figured Roman mosaics that can be enjoyed in museums and sites throughout the country. Most portray mythological characters, and the author explains the underlying myths; others are taken from daily life or depict animals, birds, and marine creatures. This lavishly illustrated study is accompanied by a full glossary of technical terms and a gazetteer of relevant sites and museums. 512014 1 4 2005 Mosaics in Roman Britain: Stories in Stone total:1|4:1| 1 4 2 1 0 0 false false Fri Apr 10 11:11:33 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 08:13:35 -0700 2009 Dover Castle shop.]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jul 01 11:22:12 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 11:22:12 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=524148
