This volume builds upon the copious and varied research on villa
mosaics in Roman Britain and evaluates it within the context of
elite social life in the 4th century AD. It argues that the mosaics
were an integral part of the rich lifestyle of the elite in this
period and played an important role in defining their status. Yet
these symbols of power were apparently no longer valued to the same
degree by the end of the 4th century. In a priod of increasing
social and economic instability, the mosaics were one element in an
elite lifestyle which was ultimately to prove socially diversive.
In this wide-ranging study, Scott considers the significance and
long-term impact of the artistic choices made by villa owners.
