The Mosaics of Alexandria

The Mosaics of AlexandriaA beautifully illustrated study of mosaic art in Greco Roman Egypt The art of the mosaic was developed by the Greeks, notably within the royal court of Macedonia, and was initially unknown to the Egyptians.

Under the stimulus of commissions from the Ptolemaic court, these workshops soon showed that they were capable of innovation.
