Mosaic: History & Art

A mosaic (/moʊ.ˈzeɪ.ɪk/) is a pattern or image made of small regular or irregular pieces of colored stone, glass or ceramic, held in place by plaster/mortar, and covering a surface. Mosaics are often used as floor and wall decoration, and were particularly popular in the Ancient Roman world.
