AB  - In the Roman world, technologies were limited to small, scattered social groups, whereas today's information technology often seems to take on a life of its own, spreading into every part of our lives. 'Mosaics of Knowledge' combines detailed readings of a wide variety of evidence such as inscriptions and artworks, with theoretical consideration of the social, cognitive, and material contexts for their use to present a unique portrait of Roman IT capabilities, limitations, and habits.
