Both a fresco and a mosaic start with wet plaster. A mosaic is made when stones, glass, or other objects are put into the plaster. A fresco is made when somebody paints onto the wet plaster, but does not add any objects other than paint.
Fresco painting was indeed less common in Byzantine art compared to other forms of decoration, such as mosaics. While frescoes were used, particularly in church interiors, the Byzantine aesthetic heavily favored mosaics due to their luminosity and durability. Mosaics allowed for intricate designs and vibrant colors that were more aligned with Byzantine spiritual and artistic goals. Therefore, while not absent, fresco painting was not the predominant medium in Byzantine art.
Roman mosaics were natural and realistic while Byzantine mosaics were meant to be symbolic.

The most widespread forms of art were sculpture, architecture, mosaics and frescoes. There was also good craftsmanship in jewelry and silverware.
Frescoes were less widespread in the Byzantine period than in the classical period. They were often replaced by wall mosaics.
Mosaics, frescoes, and sculptures are distinct art forms often used in decoration and storytelling. Mosaics are created by assembling small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials to form images or patterns.

Sculptures are three-dimensional works of art, crafted from materials such as stone, metal, or clay, and can range from realistic figures to abstract forms.

Italian church art in the Middle Ages included frescoes and mosaics which were mainly architectural in nature. Color and gold leaf were very popular at this time.
The Greeks and the Classical Romans used mosaics manly for floors. The Byzantine period made quite an extensive use of mosaics on the walls of churches. Mosaic tiles were more expensive than materials for fresco painting, and mosaic making was more laborious than painting frescoes. Therefore mosaics displayed the wealth of the Byzantine Empire.
