| Abstract: | The "Race Driver Mosaic" (Inv. 1919, 25 and 1919, 26) is part of the mosaic collection of the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier. In its two still surviving image fields, it shows several quadriga in full gallop, which is why it is referred to as "Race Driver Mosaic". It was lifted in two archaeological campaigns in 1919 and 1965. The south‐western image field had already been conserved and restored a few times before it arrived at the restoration workshop of the University of Applied Sciences in Erfurt. The aim of the conservation and restoration work there was the museal presentation of the mosaic. Conservation work was completed at the beginning of 2011. Within the scope of this dissertation, the mosaic was applied onto a new carrier system. Furthermore, defects treatment was carried out, and the object was prepared for museal presentation. |
