Q1: What did the mosaics show?
[Answer]

As Ostia grew, so the town built baths for its people.

All Roman cities had baths, and in Ostia there were baths with many rooms, some with hot water some with cold.

The floors were tiled with mosaics, tiny pieces of coloured tile made to show pictures. Many of these still survive.
