The Roman maze is unicursal and usually divided into four quarters. They are also usually located on the floor as tile mosaics, although they have appeared on walls as fresco in Pompeii and elsewhere. The mazes depicted fortified cities with Theseus and the Minotaur in the center square.
The Roman mazes below are typical of the fortified city mosaic floor mazes constructed around 200 A.D.
