Only part of this mosaic has been revealed, which is estimated to cover an area of 60 square meters.
In the port city of Durres, on the Adriatic Sea in western Albania, a unique mosaic dating back 1,900 years was found. It was reported by Arkeonews.
It is noted that it was found during the work to uncover the foundation for the reconstruction of the high school.
According to the archaeologist, Professor Luan Perjita, who is leading the work on this archaeological discovery, this is a very rare mosaic not only for Albania, but for the entire Balkan region.
This mosaic, composed of dark blue and white stones with geometric and floral figures, is estimated to be from the late 1st to early 2nd century and is part of a luxurious villa that once stood nearby in the Durrës amphitheater. Only part of this mosaic has been identified, which is believed to cover 60 square meters.
In addition to the mosaic, the eastern three-meter section of the wall was discovered, as well as several other objects.
It was previously reported that a diver discovered thousands of ancient copper coins off the coast of the Italian island of Sardinia.
