Abstract: Article on mosaics which were placed in apses, designed to be viewed from the adjoining main room and often including an aquatic theme or pattern. It is argued that these aquatic apses were an imitation of the semicircular pools often placed opposite the entrance to the main room or triclinium in the peristyle houses found more frequently in Mediterranean regions of the Roman Empire.
