Abstract
Mathematical and geometrical precision is a hallmark of King Herod the Great’s architectural achievements. This study presents five characteristics of his opus sectile floors derived from a detailed study of the geometrical patterns in the tiled floors of Herodian sites. Small variations in standard Roman patterns enabled Herod to stamp his unique signature on several of these floors.
