Abstract

The mythological mosaic paintings are still up to the present time adorning the Roman hall in the Ahmed Zabana National Museum of Oran. This mythological mosaic was found in the archaeological site of Portus Magnus – in Tiowa – decorating the tiles of one of the Roman houses in this city. The history of the discovery of this house goes back to the period of the French occupation of Algeria.
