It was discovered in the central city of Lod in 1996 and believed to have been the floor of a mansion dating back to the late third-early fourth century. "It shows that artists who did this kind of work in Carthage and in Sicily travelled around the Roman world" and were commissioned for private homes, said Hagit Torge.
