Podni mozaici iz termi u blizini salonitanske luke [Floor mosaics from the baths near the Salona harbour]

A considerable amount has already been written about the existence and activity of the Salona mosaic school/workshop (Buzov 1985; Matulić 2003), with reference to the mosaics produced during the third century AD, at the peak of its artistic and creative activity. Otherwise, the mosaics of Salona have been rarely and sporadically mentioned (Matulić 2011). The richness and beauty of the artistic creativity of Salona's mosaicists is certainly enhanced by the floor mosaics in the baths (thermae) discovered at the Jankovače site near the harbour of ancient Salona. They are still in situ and their condition is unknown. Based on the documentation from researches conducted in the 1930s, they can be classified among the finest examples of the classical Roman polychrome figural mosaic art of Salona. This mosaic group constitutes a contribution to the corpus of Roman mosaics of Dalmatia.
