Discover priceless mosaic paintings from the 4th century

Archaeologist Fryni Hadjichristofi has discovered an almost invaluable sculpture near the capital Nicosia, Republic of Cyprus.

This is an extremely sophisticated sculpture, first appearing in Cyprus and one of the rare works worldwide. The content depicts a long-running battle with both the knight and the horse in the ancient Roman arena.

Precious mosaic picture.

The painting depicts a long-running battle with both the knight and the horse in the ancient Roman arena.

The picture with a temporary length of 10m, 3m wide.

At first when they accidentally discovered a part of the picture, they did not think it was a worthwhile site. With a temporary length of 10m, 3 meters wide, it is likely that it will be even wider because it has not been excavated yet.

Hadjichristofi thought that this might be the mansion of a wealthy man in the 4th century, when the Roman Empire also dominated Europe.

In addition, the content depicts four chariots with horses and riders, fully demonstrating the four stages of the race. Above each chariot there is also a knight and horse name in Greek. The meaning of each name also shows the characteristics and personality of the subject. This is a rare occurrence, so the role of this mosaic is very important.

Hadjichristofi said it took two years to fully excavate the relief, but the work was not too difficult because the situation was still very good. After that, the work will soon be exhibited in public.
