First unearthed in 1996 during construction on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway in Lod (ancient Lydda), Israel, this large and extraordinarily detailed mosaic floor has only recently been carefully removed from its site and conserved. Found in a large villa believed to belong to a wealthy Roman, the excellently preserved mosaic floor dates to about AD 300.
