Marble has been used for centuries, including in the ancient Greek and Roman empires, for mythological statues, baths, and decoration. An example from the Roman Empire is Marble Mosaic Flooring used in the Roman Villa del Casale in Sicily.
The Byzantine Empire used Marble combined with Gold, including marble in the Islamic Golden Age, which has been used for geometric patterns in North Africa like Morocco and Persia.
From Renaissance to Baroque to Contemporary use, marble still finds us in this century, and interior designers still favour using marble due to its timeless beauty.
