Alexander piece by piece
Article Abstract:
A team of artists from the International Center for the Study and Teaching of Mosaic (CISIM) in Ravenna, Italy, in 2003, decided to create an exact copy of the Alexander Mosaic and install it in its original home. At the end of two years, 16,000 hours of work and $216,000 later, the most famous mosaic to survive from the ancient Roman world once again adorns Pompeii's House of the Faun.
