The “first known signature of a mosaicist” (Dunbabin 1999: 14) is by an artisan named Gnosis on a stag hunt mosaic (possibly) c. 300 BCE depicting Alexander the Great, from a house at Pella in Macedonia. It simply says: Gnosis epoesen: “Gnosis made [this].”

Stag hunt mosaic, Pella, Greece.
Français : Mosaïque de la chasse au cerf, Pella, Grèce.
The figure on the right is possibly Alexander the Great due to the date of the mosaic along with the depicted upsweep of his centrally-parted hair (anastole); the figure on the left wielding a double-edged axe (associated with Hephaistos) is perhaps Hephaestion, one of Alexander's loyal companions. For further infromation, see Chugg, Andrew (2006). Alexander's Lovers. Raleigh, N.C.: Lulu. ISBN 978-1-4116-9960-1, pp 78-79.

honestly when the Minerva and Alexander the Great stuff was brought up in Cupid Parasite, I was worried they might try to force a het romance. definitely sighed in relief when it seems to be big ass pining from Minerva (Alexander/Hephaestion is still safe!)
