Opus Sectile Floor Decoration
This decorative floor (2nd–3rd c. AD) from a private house in Ostia Antica features opus sectile—a technique using cut marble pieces arranged into intricate geometric patterns. More luxurious than mosaics, opus sectile signified wealth and refinement, turning domestic space into a canvas of artistic and social prestige.
