{\bf\tfb On the Roman mosaic patterns}

{\em Origin}\crlf
These three mosaic patterns appear on a floor mosaic at Fishbourne Roman Palace outside of Chichester in the UK. This black-and-white floor consists of 16 mosaic squares, some of which have survived underneath a later multi-coloured mosaic. All the squares are the same size, but internally they are divided into 8, 9 or 10 squares.

{\em References}\crlf
I found these patterns and the drawing instructions in a wonderful booklet I've once bought at some museum in the UK: {\bf Geometric Patterns from Roman Mosaics and how to draw them} by {\em Robert Field}. Tarquin Publications 1996. ISBN 0-906212-63-4.
