SUMMARY

Mosaic flooring flourished in Boeotia in the first half of the fifth century until the mid-sixth century, a period of peace and economic prosperity. The first preference for geometric decoration was enriched with iconographic elements from the animal and vegetable world, from the mid-fifth century. Towards the end of the century and in the first half of the next one, there is an increase of anthropomorphic representations with sometimes symbolic character.
