Geometric Opus Sectile
This marble floor section (4th c. AD) from the Domus di Amore e Psiche exemplifies opus sectile — a Roman technique of inlaying precisely cut stones to form intricate patterns. Interlacing circles of pavonazzetto, porphyry, and serpentine create rhythmic geometry and refined color contrast, demonstrating Roman skill in transforming architecture into visual harmony.
