The Mosaics of Roman House in Antandros

Abstract

In this study, it is presented that the mosaic pavements of the Roman House from Antandros. Portico and the

three rooms opening to portico is uncovered. However just portico and the biggest room has mosaic pavements.

The pavements are decorated with geometric motifs which are commonly used. Portico is decorated with the

mosaic floor is composed of six panels with geometrical design surrounded by this guilloche frame. Whereas

the geometric motifs are only on the main panel of the biggest room mosaic which is thought that it must have

been used as triclinium, the bordur is designed by floral and figurative motifs. This geometric design of main

panel of triclinium is similar to the villa (called Yamaç Ev) which was found in Antandros.

Especially, the coins were found, on the basement of triclinium, portico and room 2, are of importance on

dating the house and its findings. These coins are dated to Valerius Licinianus Licinus (317-320 AD) and

Flavious Honorius (395-401 AD). Therefore this Roman house and the mosaics can be dated to the

4th century AD.
