guy Posted October 13, 2022 Report Share Posted October 13, 2022 (edited) Another great mosaic has been found. This one was found in Syria and dates to the fourth century AD. Quote Journalists were shown the mosaic in the central town of Rastan near Homs, Syria's third largest city. The mosaic, at 120 square meters (around 1300 square feet), was found in an old building that Syria's General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums had been excavating. Each panel was filled with square-shaped, small colorful stones measuring about half an inch on each side. Among the scenes the mosaic shows is a rare portrayal of Ancient Amazon warriors in Roman mythology. The mosaic also portrays Neptune, Ancient Roman god of the sea, and 40 of his mistresses. "We can't identify the type of the building, whether it's a public bathhouse or something else, because we have not finished excavating yet. https://phys.org/news/2022-10-syria-rare-roman-mosaic-rebel.html Edited October 13, 2022 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
