agree  Cristiana Sima: as merge pe varianta aceasta pentru ca "tiles" are intelesul de dala/placa din orice material, nu doar ceramica sau gresie. In coroborare cu Opus signinum si definitia de aici http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/430658/opus-signin...

  -> sincer, și eu am vrut să zic fragmente de teracotă/ceramice, dar m-am gândit că dalele erau făcute înainte și din marmură, piatră, ciment etc.; aveam în minte o pardoseală din fragmente de marmură; http://is.gd/J8EGKX ; http://is.gd/J8EGKX
