FAVUS. A flag, tile, or slab of marble cut into a six-cornered figure of the same shape as the cell in a honey-comb (favus), used for making pavements of the kind termed sectilia. (Vitruv. vii. 1. 4.) The illustration (Favus/1.1) represents a piece of pavement in the Thermae of Titus at Rome; the honeycomb pattern is laid with slabs of fine marble, of the kind called pavonazzetto.
