A Mosaic Menagerie: Creatures of Land, Sea and Sky in Romano-British Mosaics - Paperback

by Patricia Witts (Author)

Over 700 creatures of land, sea and sky have been recorded from at least 140 Romano-British mosaics. This comprehensively illustrated book is the first detailed study of them. It identifies and discusses the animals, assesses their role in floor decoration, and explains how they were much more than appealing decoration.
