The subject of this article is the reflection of Roman humour on Roman mosaic pavements. In the framework of the sense of humour in the Roman Period, it is seen that the entertaining elements also reflected in the Roman provinces are used in floor mosaics quite effectively.
Expressions, gestures or objects that cause people to have fun and laugh can be described as humour. Modern technology and increased literacy rate have created oral humour to take up more space in our daily lives. When it is desired to study the history of humour, it will be useful to examine the ancient written sources and the works of famous philosophers and combine them with archaeological evidence.
It is possible to say that the sense of humour of the Roman people or the communities that have been adhered to the Roman culture in the provinces is entirely similar. Beginning from the Late Republican period to the 5th century AD, the elements that the public find funny can be seen in visual arts, especially in the examples of mosaic pavements.
