Il fenomeno dei mosaici funerari in Hispania nei secoli IV-VI

Abstract

This paper aims the phenomenon of tomb mosaics in the Iberian Peninsula during IV-VI centuries. All these mosaics covered Christian burials and this kind of monument seems to have its origins in North Africa. Excluding the epigraphic topic, which has already been studied thoroughly, we will focus on the mosaic workshops. Finally, we will make some hypothesis on the origins and decline of this phenomenon during the VI century.
