Royal Mosaics from Pergamon

Several mosaics containing highly naturalistic representations of animals have also been excavated in Attalid Pergamon. They were found in Palaces IV and V, two richly decorated buildings located in the southern part of the royal district on top of the city’s acropolis (Fig. 5.5; see also Fig. 1.2).

Fig. 5.5. Plan of Palace IV (above) and Palace V (below) at Pergamon, drawn by Wolfram Hoepfner. Hoepfner plausibly identifies Palace IV as the private residence (oikos) of the Attalid kings and suggests that Palace V was devoted to the entertainment of royal guests.
