This mosaic could be a representation of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. Which would help us to make known the importance of lighthouses in ancient times, in addition to getting started in the mosaic technique.

The word mosaic derives from the Latin Mosaicum, which means work inspired by the muses.

Mosaics are a very ancient art. There are already mosaics from 3000 BC in ancient Mesopotamia and the Greeks also already performed this art to create geometric motifs made with pebbles. In Roman times this art was perfected, being used mainly to decorate the floors of houses, (Although they were also performed on ceilings and walls) palaces and public buildings.

The creation of a mosaic required a large infrastructure and the participation of a large team.

This is, however, an easy mosaic for beginners to make. All the tiles are placed whole, without the need for pliers to cut them, but they allow you to practice and learn the mosaic technique.
