ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ
Mosaics of high artistic quality were discovered during excavations in the town of Ephesus, both in public and in private buildings of the Roman period and Early Christian church buildings. The iconography of rooms in private houses includes black and white and multicoloured geometric motifs as well as scenes with mythological representations. Similar geometric decorations can also be found in the three-aisled basilicas of the same era. Generally, the existing mosaic decoration in Ephesus relates stylistically with equivalent decorations in the western Mediterranean and reflects the collective prosperity of the era. |
