Sunt prezentate patru fragmente de mozaic, restaurate cu ajutorul unui colectiv de speciali\u0219ti \u0219i studen\u021bi de la Universitatea Na\u021bional\u0103 de Arte din Bucure\u0219ti, coordona\u021bi de dr.

Its existence was marked by at least one devastating earthquake, the destruction of the monument being attributed to such a seismic event, which probably occurred in the 6th century AD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The building stretched over three terraces, connected by stairs, thus making the transition from the lowest level, corresponding to the ancient port (terrace III), to the mosaic hall (terrace I), from which one could climb to the level of the ancient city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Terrace I, the one with the large mosaic hall, probably functioned in ancient times as a place for economic, social and political gatherings, a kind of forum for the city at that time. The mosaic hall was enclosed on all sides and probably covered by a light, gabled roof. The walls of the hall were clad with white and coloured marble, some slabs undecorated, others with plant, geometric, zoomorphic and anthropomorphic representations. Characteristic of this first terrace (the Mosaic Hall<\/em>) are the presence of a niche and a stone podium, both of which are undoubtedly additions and modifications made after the mosaic room was built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n Four mosaic fragments are presented, restored with the help of a team of specialists and students from the National University of Arts in Bucharest, coordinated by Dr. Romeo Constantin Gheorghi\u021b\u0103. The restoration used the original tesserae, and the support layer was also reconstructed, with full respect for the structure and types of materials originally employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The decoration of these fragments consists of varied geometric motifs; within the overall mosaic, the motifs that composed it offered a pleasing visual effect from any point of view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The organization of the decorative motifs was achieved by dividing the surface into a sequence of square and rectangular fields, all framed by a wide border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In relation to the total length of the hall, there would have been four rectangular fields, interspersed with three squares, but unfortunately only areas of the first two rectangular fields and the first two square fields, towards the South\u2011East, have been preserved. Each square field contained a circle, which was in turn divided into several geometric shapes by framing motifs such as ribbon, double or single rope, Etruscan wave, etc. Each of these small spaces thus delimited contained a distinct decorative motif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pebbles that make up the mosaic vary in size depending on the complexity of the motif they compose. The colours used are white, cream, yellow, red, dark green and black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ***<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exponatul lunii septembrie 2026 poate fi admirat \u00een format fizic la sediul muzeului din strada Arhiepiscopiei nr. 7, municipiul Constan\u021ba, \u00eencep\u00e2nd de vineri, 11 septembrie 2026, timp de o lun\u0103.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Curator: Aurel Mototolea<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/minac.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2-1024x1024.png\")
