| description | The structures of a domus with two mosaics were discovered, and due to its features, it was decided to keep it integrated in the crypt of the Museum building in Bracara Augusta (Portugal).

A study of the hourglass motif integrated into different compositions will be presented here, helping to the international standardization of the description of the Roman Mosaic and trying to confront the same pattern from the West
(Portugal) to the East (Turkey) of the Roman World. |
