guy Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 (edited) Roman mosaics dating from the third century AD were found in Western Turkey in Heraclea at Latmo. A Roman-era bath floor was decorated with mosaics depicting crocodiles, eels, dolphins, and flamingos. Crocodiles were found among the depictions on the mosaics. Interestingly, these animals are not found in the area so it’s assumed that the artist who made the mosaic had some exposure to crocodiles before working in the area. https://www.finestresullarte.info/en/archaeology/turkey-mosaics-with-crocodiles-and-flamingos-discovered-at-heraclea-al-latmo#:~:text=Important archaeological discoveries in Turkey,Mugla province%2C Milas district). https://arkeonews.net/roman-bath-and-magnificent-mosaics-used-as-stables-by-the-villagers-for-many-years/#google_vignette Edited January 6 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
