One of the mosaic floors consists on a chessboard pattern, with contrasting colours and the other is furnished with hourglass gridlines. A study of the hourglass motif integrated into different compositions will be presented here, helping to the international standardization of the description of the Roman Mosaic and trying to confront the same pattern from the West (Portugal) to the East (Turkey) of the Roman World.
