About this Collection
In the heart of Alexandria, amongst the ruins of an ancient town, the Kom el-Dikka archaeological site houses a protective shelter encasing four sets of mosaic floors from the Early Roman Empire. The mosaics in question are not only a rare illustration of the domestic architecture of this period, but they are also a testament to the conservation efforts of Project Director, Dr. Wojciech Kolataj and his team, who sought to reconcile the mosaics’ conservation with their original context.
