MOSAIC MUSEUM
Excavations which began in 1935 by Prof. Baxter. The fragments of the mosaic pavements which we will see were once part of the Great palace.
The mosaics belonging to the palace are from the fourth and fifth century A.D. The mosaics are extremely tactile in effect, among them are the figures of a lion devouring a lizard, a stag entwined with a snake, a woman giving breast to a child, the combat of a spear bearing hunter and tiger, a child feeding a donkey, a young girl carrying an amphora, a camel with children mounted on its back, and a monkey pacing a banana from the tree.
