Geometric Themes in Villae of the Conventus Pacensis

Abstract

The project of drawing up an inventory of Roman mosaics in the territory of present-day Portugal requires, in

the first stage, a methodical consultation of as many existing sources of information as possible, both of the

current and of the past centuries. In doing so, trends in the compositional grammar and in the iconographic

discourse chosen will gradually be outlined, eventually allowing the individualization of local, regional or even

itinerant workshops.

In the process of consulting the records of Roman mosaics in Portuguese territory of Lusitania we can identify

the existence of geometric mosaics in Roman villae of Alentejo, less known but not less interesting as regards

the repertoire of their floors. From some of them - disappeared in the years following their discovery – there is

nothing left but the reports of the archaeological campaigns then carried out and one or another photograph

or drawing included in them.

Largely in very poor state of conservation, the still existing fragments are, today, testimony of a very own

decorative syntax.
