In this regard, the consideration of some parallels for the figures of servants and saltatrices, as well as information from literary sources and the context of the ancient Augusta Treverorum in which the mosaic was commissioned are equally revealing when drawing our conclusions. on the identification of a banquet, including the entertainments of the comissatio.","PeriodicalId":40714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mosaic Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43502201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This event, almost 25 years after the beginning of the sporadic excavations of the site by the IAA (Israel Antiquities Authority), seems an appropriate moment to briefly recapitulate on the findings, the history of the research and its scientific and, why not, communal significance. This spectacular site consists of a large Roman domus which includes a lavish colorful mosaic paving a large triclinium, that was exposed in the most prestigious museums in the world. Also includes a peristyle courtyard, and various rooms, all paved with luxurious mosaics. The project (excavated in 1996, 2009, 2014 and 2018) attracted the public attention and enjoyed from its beginning incessant media covering. The mosaics, which depict accurately figures from the animal kingdom, were built in the best style of the time, and boast influences from different parts of the empire.The long process has by no means been simple and the difficulties have been numerous, starting with the chronic lack of funds to finance such a project, the initial resistance and distrust of the inhabitants of the neighborhood and the countless logistical, archaeological, and political impediments.The article summarizes the archaeological findings at the mosaic, and also focuses on the process that went through the modest neighborhood that houses it, from the initial opposition and disbelief of the inhabitants towards the authorities to the recognition of the value of the antiquities. The article also reviews the approach to conservation, the philosophy behind the planning of the museum and the hope for integration into the community framework, to create a sense of belonging and local pride. Beyond its outstanding archaeological, artistic, and scientific value, the Lod mosaic, which began its life in the fourth century CE as part of an elitist and wealthy mansion, can today fulfil an important function as a catalyst for social change and improvement.","PeriodicalId":40714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mosaic Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45748834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mosaicin question was located on the second floor of the relevant space. The mosaic, which isheavily damaged and consists of many small fragments, is the third example uncovered afterthose founds in the Women's Chapel and Harbor Bath at Patara. After restoration work wascompleted in 2013, it was discovered that the mosaic was made up of a panel surrounded bythree borders. Utilizing seven various tessera kinds, this geometric patterned mosaic wascreated using the opus tessellatum process. With the colors ordered from dark to bright in thepattern processing, the motifs have been given a sense of depth. Filling motifs are utilized inthe gaps of the circular main design to produce more intricate ornamentation. The Pataranmosaic's design repertory and building technique, as well as the excavation results, place it inthe 5th century AD. This mosaic, the topic of the first comprehensive study of Pataranmosaics, is a unique example of floor mosaics found in Lycia and Western Anatolia,particularly in Patara. Furthermore, this study opens questions about the mosaic repertoireof the region, construction techniques, and the identification of possible new workshops.","PeriodicalId":40714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mosaic Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43701107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The colors of the glass and stone tesserae on the Seasons Mosaic were determined by the digital Focus brand Capsure Portable Color Matching device based on the Munsell Color Catalogue. The petrographic analyzes of the stone tesserae were characterized archeometrically by thin-section optical microscopy analysis and the chemical analysis of the glass tesserae using the Polarized Energy Distributed X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer. In the light of the results obtained, the rock type, texture, hardness level, rocks and minerals forming the aggregate of the stone tesserae were defined. The chemical composition of the elements found within the framework of the results of the glass tessera analysis was determined and predictions were made about the color properties. By petrographic analysis of stone tesserae, rock types were determined as biosparitic, biomicritic and micritic limestone. As a result of the PED-XRF analysis of the glass tesserae, it was determined that it was soda lime glass, that plant ash was not used, and that it had low deterioration and resistance. It has been understood that the element that gives the green color to the glass tesserae is copper. By looking at the strontium (Sr) and zirconium (Zr) contents, it was concluded that terrestrial raw materials were used in the structure of glass tesserae.","PeriodicalId":40714,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mosaic Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46693860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
