Description

This book covers the development of mosaics in Britain from the invasion to the end of Roman Britain.

The technical side of the art form is covered as well as prefabrication.

It covers those mosaics based in towns as well as more rural locations.

Many of the mosaics have been lost but are recorded in coloured engravings.

The author has a large collection of illustrations of both existing and lost mosaic pavements.

The uniqueness of some British depictions of such well known characters as Orpheus are also explored here.

Reconstructions by the author of some sections of figured mosaics based on examples found elsewhere in the empire are included.

The author’s recent work on the newly discovered Boxford mosaic, that is the most important mosaic found in Britain for over 50 years, is explored here for the first time. Anthony Beeson is the former archivist of the Association for the Study and Preservation of Roman Mosaics, a member of the board of trustees of the Association for Roman Archaeology and The Roman Baths Foundation, a prolific writer of papers on Roman art and architecture and has lectured on the subject of Roman mosaics.
