Roman fishing landscapes, 2/3rd AD
Mosaic in the House of Hippolytus La Casa de Hippolytus is an archaeological site located in the city of Alcalá de Henares, Madrid. It is part of the Roman city of Complutum.
#Romanmosaics found around the #MediterraneanSea show samples of #fishing scenes and methods. It shows a range of boats, nets, spearing, fish traps, and baskets. This range of methods reflects a wider number of fish species eaten during the period. #coastalhistory

In Aventicum lies a marvel hidden like a sock devoured by the washing machine of history: a Roman mosaic labyrinth, exquisite geometric puzzle, no doubt designed to entertain a provincial governor’s ego while his slaves whisper “Come on, it’s just a big floor doodle.”

a set of text which is this: What is a Roman mosaic without it being 'Roman' 1. Is made with tesserae that are all the same average size 2. A specific andamento is used (classical andamento) 3. This andamento is easy to learn and its implementation can be consistently maintained (the six rules) 4. This andamento ensures that no one part of the mosaic has any discordance that would draw in the viewer's eye to the detriment of seeing the mosaic as a whole.
In my opinion, if we were to strip away the usual associations with those mosaics and got down to the way in which they were made then this would be it. This is to do with the making of the mosaic. #romanmosaic #romanmosaics #andamento
