Archaeology

In the previous post, we discussed a bit about the art of mosaic floors, their origins, and their function throughout the ancient Mediterranean. We also mentioned their possible origins in Judea and Galilee. But why and for what purpose decorate a space with this type of art?

This month, dedicated to the mosaics of Magdala, our archaeology team wishes to share information about the ancient mosaics found at the site. Two thousand years ago, the inhabitants of Magdala chose this art form to decorate their synagogue and the most emblematic buildings of their community.
