The Mosaics of Jordan - by Michele Piccirillo

The Mosaics of Jordan, authored by Michele Piccirillo and published in 1993 by the American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR) in Amman, is a comprehensive study of Jordan’s rich mosaic heritage from the Roman, Byzantine, and Umayyad periods. This large-format, 383-page volume, edited by Patricia M. Bikai and Thomas A. Dailey, features 824 illustrations, including 303 full-color pages, with photographs, maps, plans, and aerial views. It is a seminal work that consolidates previously scattered material from journals and reports, while also presenting previously unpublished mosaics, making it an essential resource for understanding Jordan’s archaeological and artistic legacy.
