Late Antiquity Home with Mosaics (Stara Zagora) | museum, ancient, Roman Empire

Bulgaria / Stara Zagora / Stara Zagora / Gen. Stoletov Street, 117
 museum, ancient, Roman Empire
A group of archeologists discovered a private home during excavations in the center of the city. The home did not appear to be exceptional at first sight.
As the work progressed they discovered parts of an incredibly beautiful mosaic. It turned out that they had discovered an amazing "canvas" dating back to 4th century A.D.
The mosaic represented the entire model of the cosmogony: the world of water and its creatures; the land with its flora and fauna; the sky with the "Origin of life" scene.
