← HistoryWhich consequence occurred due to accelerated tesserae deterioration?
A)Weaker structural mosaic integrity
B)Increased grout cracking vulnerability
C)Compromised Byzantine artistic depiction✓
D)Reduced mortar adhesion strength
💡 Explanation
If the tesserae (mosaic tiles) degraded because of improper composition during the Roman period, leading to accelerated decomposition, the artistic depictions would fade through gradual color loss because chromatic shift occurs, therefore limiting iconographic information rather than altering grout properties.
