The general characteristics (the drawings arrangement, the colours and the iconography) of the three mosaics of the imperial era discovered in Véroia give us the opportunity to study them. For the maritime representation they have employed the technique «black-white». This mosaic is the first discovered in Lefcadia of Naoussa and is very rarely met in Greece. But it is known in the West and especially in Italy where the technique «black-white» was well developed during the 2 C. The other two mosaics discovered in No 13 Edessis street and in the quarter «Panorama» of Véroia, have common points with works of the Hellenistic period. The three mosaics of Véroia, as far as the composition is concerned, are a synthesis of Hellenistic paving-stones. The comparison concerning the subject of the mosaics of the Hellenistic period allows us to record: the attachment to the Hellenistic tradition which is manifest with the conservation of the same subjects like previously in the Roman period.
