It depicts three prosperous-looking males wearing togas, one facing the viewer and the other two in profile. &#8220;We can find similar mosaics only in Cyprus and northern Syria,&#8221; Ad said. &#8220;In Israel we have never before found the same quality.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli archaeologists on Thursday unveiled what they called a &#8220;rare and beautiful&#8221; Roman mosaic floor excavated in the ancient Mediterranean [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publications"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
