The Greeks and the Classical Romans used mosaics manly for floors. The Byzantine period made quite an extensive use of mosaics on the walls of churches. Mosaic tiles were more expensive than materials for fresco painting, and mosaic making was more laborious than painting frescoes. Therefore mosaics displayed the wealth of the Byzantine Empire. There was also an integration of architecture and mosaic decoration.
Just about all styles that I can think of require wet paint. If you are asking about painting directly into wet plaster, it is the art of the fresco.

It depicts Christ as a Human Figure firmly embedded into the earthly world
Byzantine Empire went through two periods which historians have called Byzantine Iconoclasm (726-787 and 814-842) when the use of religious images or icons was opposed by religious and imperial authorities. Religious themes were not allowed and were replaced with secular ones. Imagery as such was not an issue. However, especially considering that religious themes were dominant in the Middle Ages, artists found themselves with a very restricted number of subjects. As a result, some artists produced paintings which did not represent something recognisable as what is seen in the everyday life and concentrated on visual effects. Some of these works anticipated some aspects of modern abstract art.

Affresco ( In English usage, "fresco" ). Painting done on freshly laid wet plaster with pigments dissolved in lime water. As both dry they become completely integrated. In true fresco the artist must start applying his colors on the wet (or fresco) intonaco as soon as it has been prepared and laid on the wall. The colors can thus be absorbed by the wet plaster. When it dries and hardens, the colors become one with plaster.
Frescoes and murals are not the same, although they are related. Fresco is a painting technique where pigment is applied onto a wet plaster surface, while murals are any large painting applied directly to a wall or ceiling. Frescoes can be a type of mural, but not all murals are frescoes.
