Description
Detail view of mosaic of a lion with one front paw on the severed head of a bull, from a Terrace House in Ephesus, Turkey."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 ... The temples, roads and houses were ornamented with marvelous mosaics. Although, the mosaics are widely black and white and geometrical, the colorful settings with mythological references inside geometrical borders are also found as the typical Roman style,"--Ephesus Ancient City website.
