Alexander Mosaic and Bull leaping are 2 in door decorates in acient Rome and acient Greek, one is for the floor on the House of Faun Pompeii, the other is on the wall of knossos island. They both contained a theme of counqer.
Mosaic shows the war which Alexander is defeating the Persian King Darius, Alexander did not wear helment it can be reconized as great counqeror at that time. Even though the image is build up with many small pieces of tesserae,the fear and anxiety on King Darius face, the fallen Perian soldiers and the backward horse showing the lost of King Darius. Unlike the Mosaic's bloody and chaos, Bull leaping is more peaceful and harmony, one man is flipping over a charged bull and two women flank the bull, it's kind of like human agains beast but without hurting them, yet the human are still dangerous.
Two decorations both present battle and counqer, Mosaic is the conflict between human from different area, Bull leaping is for people use their power and skill against nature.

Kroisos Kouros | Riace Warrior
They are 2 naked soldier themed sculpture from acient Greek, one is made by marble and the other is made by Greek bronze.
Kroisos marble sculpture is used for a grave marker of a young warrior who falls in the battle. even though it has a name for unique person, the art style is still idealized, it seems to repressent an image of every male soldior during that time, or maybe, it just a common idea for people in the battlefront which is similar with Riace Warrior, two sculpture found from the ocean, which is not only have a young but also an more mature looking one. Unlike the static old artworks, the Riace is found more idealized than before. Since bronze is more easy to shape and keep, people start to use bronze instead of marble.
For conclusion, they both are soldior sculptures, Kroisos has a specified name partly represent other youth; Riace showed 2 in different ages and even different materials and artstyles.

The Roman found sculpture repressents an old mortal woman carring stocks, her face and her bending body shows her tiredness and stress. Unlike the idealized Goddess, she's created more realistic, scholarships' guessing at that age, people want some realism and individuality rather than similar.
