This style of mosaic is known as the Roman mosaic, a type of artwork commonly used during the Roman Empire. Roman mosaics were made from small, flat pieces of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae. These were used to create patterns or depict scenes, ranging from geometric designs to intricate narrative scenes. The tesserae could be precisely cut squares or irregularly shaped pieces, and the size of the tesserae could vary, with finer mosaics having smaller and more intricately placed pieces.

The colors were diverse, often vibrant, and were used to create shading and depth, giving a three-dimensional effect to the images. The backgrounds were typically composed of white or black tesserae, which allowed the figures or patterns in the forefront to stand out. This technique allowed for detailed and realistic representations, particularly of people, animals, and scenes from mythology and daily life.

Roman mosaics served both as a decorative art form and a means to display wealth and cultural knowledge. They were commonly used as flooring in private homes and public buildings, like baths and temples, and were an important part of Roman architecture and interior decoration. The style reflects the artistry and craftsmanship of the period, showcasing the Roman's appreciation for detailed, durable, and luxury artwork.
