Roman Mosaic from Lod, Israel

This Roman Mosaic was found almost completely intact only recently in 1996 in Tel Aviv, Israel during a highway construction. The mosaic is comprised of animal scenes, most of which are violent, which fits perfectly with Roman culture.You can tell that an extreme amount of craftsmanship was put into the Mosaic. Each tiny square was hand painted and put together one by one to make the grand mosaic that served as a floor in a Roman household.
