Marble floor with irregular tiles in opus incertum Explanation: This works better for me, because a "large marble chip floor" made me think of terrazzo-style tiles with larger-than-graniglia marble chips. The pieces of marble can be called "pezzami", while the floor may be called "pezzame a bollettonato". See this image: http://www.shutterstock.com/pic-33576457/stock-photo-a-floor... |
