Abstract


The present article examines some examples of relevant mosaics founded in archaeological context of Late Roman Spain (IV-V A. D.) and investigates their validity as «source for the Late Roman History». Recent research and interpretations of them claim their meaning as a proof of religious commitments for their owners ore ven ownership of the villae in which were found. The proposal is that they have been overinterpreted and that it is necessary to be very cautious in its study taking into account the historical background of mosaic production of the Late Roman period.
