  1. Un bel exemple de mosaïques romaines.
    A must see are the Roman mosaïques at the Musée Bardo en Tunis, Musée Zeugma en Turkey and the Villa Romana del Casale en Sicily. En America you have the Getty Museum and the Worcester Art Museum with their fine collections.
    Recently à very rare and fully intact Roman mosaïque was discovered en Syria depicting the Trojan Wars of the Greeks, hopefully it will be preserved and protected :)

    1. I was surprised during a 2013 visit to Rome, to find that a significant number of mosaics and frescoes were viewable in their original , albeit sometimes ruined, buildings.

  2. Schöne Mosaik.
    In Berlin gibt es das Pergamon Museum und des Altes und Neues Museum mit schönen Sammlungen römischer Antiquitäten. (“)

  3. In 146 BC the Romans conquered Greece and they became enamored by Greek art and culture, including the Olympic Games. The Romans encouraged the games until Emperor Theodosius banned them and other festivals for being pagan in 393 as he Christianized the Roman Empire.

    1. The more heavily Greek infused Eastern Roman Empire lasted 900 years after the City of Rome was repeatedly sacked and the Western Empire fell apart.
