Item The decorative repertoire of the mosaics from the Conuentus Bracaraugustanus and their relationships with other mosaics of Hispania(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2022-08-25) Abraços, Maria de Fátima; Wrench, LicíniaIn this work we intend to extend the comparative study of the mosaics of Conuentus Bracaraugustanus published in the Corpus to the mosaics from Gallaecia and from other regions of Hispania, particularly from the region between the Ebro and Douro rivers, considering different mosaic workshops operating in these areas. We also register punctual relationships between some compositional schemes, themes and motifs that occur in the mosaics of the Conuentus Bracaraugustanus and some of the north African production. We will complement our study with information that resulted from the continuation of our research and that was provided to us after the publication of the Corpus, in 2019.Item The mosaics with geometric patterns from the West and the East of the Roman Empire: The hourglass pattern and the significance of the “Le décor géométrique de la Mosaïque Romaine I-II ”(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2014) Abraços, Maria de FátimaThe structures of a domus with two mosaics were discovered, and due to its features, it was decided to keep it integrated in the crypt of the Museum building in Bracara Augusta (Portugal). One of the mosaic floors consists on a chessboard pattern, with contrasting colours and the other is furnished with hourglass gridlines. A study of the hourglass motif integrated into different compositions will be presented here, helping to the international standardization of the description of the Roman Mosaic and trying to confront the same pattern from the West (Portugal) to the East (Turkey) of the Roman World.
