I have been using an ochre lighter than the actual dark brown one used by the 2nd century mosaicist.

Dyonisos or Bacchus riding some big cats or a cart pulled by them was a beloved theme of antic mosaicists and painters https://t.co/81GZxgNGGS

The mosaic was laid at the end of the 4th century. At that time, Rome was still holding to Southern Gaul but figurative scenes were becoming scarce, in favor of geometric and plant patterns. This indicates probably a decreased expertise of the mosaicists.
There are indications that some Roman mosaicists were also painters. The same is also true of modern artists like Klimt - who was also very inspired by Greek Mythology. (I love his Danae!)
