Mosaics
A picture or pattern produced by arranging together small pieces of stone, tile, glass, etc.
Large mosaics in Roman times often take years to make.
Roman mosaics were a common feature of private homes and public buildings across the empire from Africa to Antioch. Not only are mosaics beautiful works of art in themselves but they are also an invaluable record of such everyday items as clothes, food, tools, weapons, flora and fauna. They also reveal much about Roman activities like gladiator contests, sports, agriculture, hunting and sometimes they even capture the Romans themselves in detailed and realistic portraits.

Jesus the Activist
Jesus spread the message that there was a kingdom greater than Rome, that God would provide and that the poorest members of society would find relief and hope. It was a completely new message – one which excited his audiences.
Although his message was proving popular, the claim of his disciples that Jesus was the son of God offended many people. What’s more, his ideas were revolutionary and threatened to undermine thousands of years of social tradition in Rome.
As a foreigner, Jesus would have been considered lower class in Roman society. His messages often contradicted those of the Pharisees and Romans. To his disciples, Jesus was the messiah and leader, yet he broke social barriers when he spoke to the woman at the well, healed the lepers and acted with kindness towards tax collectors. Jesus’ message of love, humility and servitude ignored social class, instead focusing on changing lives through the Word of God.
