Viggen Posted March 27, 2004 Report Share Posted March 27, 2004 The ancient city of Zeugma located on bank of the biblical Tigris River is once more making news but this time it is not over the dam lake that inundated most of the city but efforts to move many of its famous mosaics. Once a Roman frontier garrison town, Zeugma has acclaimed as having the best surviving examples of ancient mosaic work in the world. Once trodden on by Roman warriors, now the peerless mosaics are at the centre of a legal battle between authorities and those who seek to preserve what is left of the city Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
