Abstract
The earliest news about mosaics discovered in the Roman city of Bracara Augusta, dating from the second halfof the nineteenth century, were mostly published in local newspapers. Only in 1976, after the creation of the ArchaeologicalField of Braga, the body responsible for carrying out rescue archaeology in the urban area, weresome dozens of archaeological interventions performed, which allowed mapping, safeguarding remains andproceed a cultural heritage. This allowed us to have a systematic knowledge of the mosaics of Bracara Augusta.Our work aims to provide an overview of the mosaics displayed in D. Diogo de Sousa Museum of Braga andremaining in situ (the mosaic of “Escola Velha da Sé” (Cathedral’s Old School) and the mosaic of the “Casa daRoda” (House of the Wheel), to undertake a new reading and interpretation of them, looking for their relationshipswith the mosaics of the eastern and western Mediterranean.
