Geometric mosaic

Conjunto Arqueológico de Cástulo

Conjunto Arqueológico de Cástulo
Linares (Jaén), Spain

In the archaeological excavations in the public building located in the center of the city, possibly for worship Domitian, it has been able to document so far four rooms with mosaics.

At the southern end of the building a room of approximately 5.30 x 6.4 meters is located a mosaic with geometric motifs and yellow stucco walls where there are some figurative motifs such as cups.

In the mosaic, framed between valances forming octagons, we find figures that could be identified as fishing nets, in which the different shades of the tesserae play with gradient color to give the sensation of movement.
