Description

Interior view of Terrace House 6 at Ephesus, Turkey with floor mosaic. "The mosaics in Ephesus reveal the Roman Period’s art which may be defined as the refined style of the antique art and Hellenistic art, the combination of different characters, the unity of mythology and aesthetics. As the eastern capital state of Rome, the rich Ephesus, of course, had the unique works of mosaic art. The influence of the states over Roman art was clearly visible ... The terrace houses of Ephesus are the very stunning ones, revealing the importance of mosaics in Ephesians’ way of living,"--Ephesus Ancient City website.
