Sosus of Pergamon

[2] After the conquests of Alexander the Great, the Greeks of major centers such as Pergamon and Alexandria displayed their wealth in decorations that included mosaics.

[3] The two famous works of Sosus include: Asarotos oikos, The Unswept House (Ancient Greek: ἀσάρωτος οἶκος) depicts the floor of a room covered with the remains of a feast, including fish, fruit and other fragments of food.

[2][4] A mosaic from Hadrian's Villa, now in the Capitoline Museums, depicts a group of doves on a round bowl.

[2] It was discovered in 1737 during excavations at Hadrian's Villa led by Cardinal Giuseppe Alessandro Furietti, who thought it was the mosaic that Pliny had described, although other scholars think it is a copy of the original that was made for Hadrian.

The Hadrian's villa mosaic has in turn been copied many times in many formats.
