Abstract

The present research considers a group of fragments of polychrome tessellated mosaic floor, placed in no particular order and direction onto one of the external surfaces of the porch of the Private Archaeological Museum in the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum. Some of the fragments analysed are relevant to an area of the so-colled Oratory within the byzantine monastery “Dominus Flevit” located in Jerusalem, where most of the flooring is still available. The location and digitalisation of the photographic plates reproducing the images of the remains herein analysed before their removal, have made it possible to spot the original location of the now walled-in fragments. The floor has been severely damaged by the iconoclasm and the reconstruction attempts from the past to the present days. In view of plausible comparisons and the analysis of the decorations, the present work suggests the hypothesis that the mosaic dates back between the end of the VI and the beginning of the VII century A.D.
