Huge floor mosaic revealed
希臘古墓現馬賽克拼圖

Archaeologists have uncovered a huge mosaic floor recently excavated within the ancient tomb of Amphipolis, the largest burial site ever found in Greece, foreign media reported. The mosaic, 3 meters long and 4.5 meters wide, depicts a horseman with a laurel wreath driving a chariot and preceded by the god Hermes, according to the Greek Culture Ministry. A circular area of the mosaic is missing, but authorities say enough fragments have been found to reconstruct a large part. Archaeologists have dated the mosaic to the 4th century BC, and believe that the grave was most likely a relative or one of Alexander the Great's generals.(See photo)
