During the reign of the Roman Empire, many of the town houses and rural estates in North Africa were decorated with beautiful mosaics. These works were especially widespread in Tunisia. This volume is structured around 4 themes - Nature, Theatre and Spectacle, Gods and Myths, and Technique - and features 27 mosaics from Tunisia's museums.
