Join ASPROM

Welcome to ASPROM

ASPROM is an association devoted to the study of ancient mosaics, and especially the Roman mosaics of Britain. It is the British branch of the Association International pour l’Étude de la Mosaïque Antique (AIEMA). Our members include people from all walks of life, as well as institutions such as museums, art galleries, and mosaic conservation firms. Together we provide a body of knowledge and skills covering every aspect of mosaic. The interchange of ideas is a welcome and enjoyable aspect of our activities.

ASPROM…

  • Organises two symposia a year with talks by members and invited speakers.
  • Publishes an illustrated journal, Mosaic, and Newsletters, which are free to members.
  • Offers grants to individuals and institutions for the study, conservation and presentation of ancient mosaics. You can read about the projects we have funded here.
