Mosaics of the basilica of Grand, Roman mosaic site in Grand, France
The floor mosaic inside the basilica extends over 232 square meters, featuring detailed animal figures and intricate geometric patterns throughout its surface.
Discovered in 1883 by Felix Voulot, the mosaic belonged to the basilica of Adesina, a religious center during Roman times in present-day Grand.
The mosaic patterns depict entertainment events from the nearby amphitheater, including scenes with tigers, panthers, boars, and bears at the corners.
A protective building constructed directly on the original foundation covers the entire mosaic floor, ensuring preservation from environmental factors.
Small glass paste and limestone cubes form the structure of the mosaic tiles, reflecting entertainment events from the 17,000-seat amphitheater.
