Abstract

The project of drawing up an inventory of Roman mosaics in the territory of present-day Portugal requires, inthe first stage, a methodical consultation of as many existing sources of information as possible, both of thecurrent and of the past centuries. In doing so, trends in the compositional grammar and in the iconographicdiscourse chosen will gradually be outlined, eventually allowing the individualization of local, regional or evenitinerant workshops.In the process of consulting the records of Roman mosaics in Portuguese territory of Lusitania we can identifythe existence of geometric mosaics in Roman villae of Alentejo, less known but not less interesting as regardsthe repertoire of their floors. From some of them - disappeared in the years following their discovery – there isnothing left but the reports of the archaeological campaigns then carried out and one or another photographor drawing included in them.Largely in very poor state of conservation, the still existing fragments are, today, testimony of a very owndecorative syntax.
