Roman Geometric Marble Panel

This marble opus sectile (c.2nd–3rd c. AD) from the House of the Nymphaeum shows a star motif framed by concentric circles. Opus sectile, a Roman decorative technique in which cut pieces of colored marble or stone were fitted together like a puzzle, demonstrates Roman skill in geometry, creating depth, harmony, and elegance in architectural spaces.
