The common term for a single mosaic piece it tessera, but can also be called abaciscus or abaculus. Each piece is made of a single small tile, which is usually cube shaped. Tesseras are usually made from clay, ceramic, stone, glass, or mirror.

The Romans used small clay or glass tile pieces to make a mosaic. (: (:
tesserae
It depended on how big the mosaic was and how small the pieces that were used were. Large and sophisticated mosaics built take years to make.

Yes - they will concentrate stresses
First the Romans used chicken oil the rub on the mosaic for good luck. Then put pieces together. I'm not sure about the chicken oil, that's a new one on me. The small tiles, known as tesserae were cut from stone using a set of tools called a hammer and hardie. The hardie is a small chisel set upside down in a block of wood and the hammer has a blade on it. The marble is held on the hardie then struck with the hammer. Mostly the tesserae were cut to about 8mm - 12mm pieces. The pattern was scratched or painted onto the floor and then using a mix called Pozzolan as the cement they would trowel small amounts onto the pattern and place the tesserae in the cement. The floors were then ground down and then polished/waxed.
yes, anyone can make a mosaic because it is simply ripping pieces of paper or tissue and sticking it on paper with glue.it may not look good but they can still make it!
The MOSAIC was made of bits of colored glass, which glistened beautifully PS... It took me ten minutes to make up a sentence :)
Mosaic I think
Romans made mosaics out of terracotta(clay). Which was first used in the eighteenth century BC.The mosaic pieces were originally pebbles,but then changed to tile and cube stone rods through the 400BC.Nowadays we use ceramic tile and glass.
Mosaic uses tiles collage is pieces of paper, magazines etc.
