Abstract
The geometric pattern of this mosaic is characterized by a checkerboard pattern, with squares divided by white bands that host hourglass motifs. These are interspersed with small flowers shown through two-tone rhombus shapes, a mill blade motif, and flowers with four almond-shaped petals. Sections are outlined by a spaced Greek frame with sloping colors, within which various geometric and floral motifs alternate. This type of mosaic design is very common in the Mediterranean area between the third and fourth centuries A.D.
A water pipe ran east to west below the floor, damaging the mosaic over time. This created a patchy band along the floor. After restoration work, the canalization can still be traced to the height of the manhole, which is still present in the floor today.
