Abstract
Ancient mosaic patterns tend to be certain absolute sizes (mosaic units). There is evidence that the mosaicists had these lengths marked on rulers. A ruler such as one which an ancient mosaicist might have used has been reconstructed. It is possible that an original may still exist.Keywords
