Why are the ancient mosaics so compelling? Why are we so attracted to intricate designs and patterns?
In this fascinating journey, Lillian explains the mosaic’s symbolism and construction and introduces her revolutionary research that the flat pavement was imagined as a three-dimensional sphere. Join Lillian as she decodes the underlying mysteries of this spectacular 1700 year-old Roman pavement excavated in Lod, Israel.
So get comfortable and prepare to be inspired!
