Opus signinum is an antique floor-covering technique, especially
noted in the Mediterranean area. The technique is based on a
waterproof mortar of a mixture of lime, water and tile powder which
gives it a reddish colour. This current research focused mainly on
the opus signinum process as recorded in the antique literature
(especially Vitrivius and Pliny) and then scientific analysis, in
order to define the composition of the mortar. Over 100 pavements
from Mediterranean countries (5th c BC 2nd c AD) have been compiled
in the catalogue, making it possible to study the ornamental
patterns and the various uses the rooms/spaces were put to. French
