SILVA, Gilvan Ventura da. The rapports between 'techné' and 'paideia' in the Roman Empire: reading the Antiochene mosaics. Acta Scientiarum. Education [online]. 2016, vol.38, n.3, pp.219-229. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v38i3.28713.

Discussion on the Roman mosaic as techné or as ars, is provided, or rather, a decoration technique for interiors made at high specialization levels. When the main procedures adopted in mosaic art are established, we will show how a certain technique, a particular way in handling unsophisticated materials learnt by semi-illiterate people, lost throughout the ages, was used to express themes and motifs connected with paideia, the superior education of the Greco-Roman elite. As a case study, two mid-3rd century CE mosaics found in the so-called House of Menander, a villa located in the suburb of Daphne, in southern Antioch, will be investigated.
