Thank god our CIA/USAID created ISIS that got out of control and “moderate” sunni headchoppers didn’t find it first.

NY Post seems to be dubious that this mosaic is rare based on repeated use of quotations around it.

Unless China was cranking these things out and shipping them worldwide for sale at Roman Walmart I'd say a one-of-a kind 1,600 year old mosaic is rare.

I wonder if, 2000 years from now, there will be articles about the discovery of a very rare “Dogs Playing Poker” painting?

I have been told that Mexicans are real good at tile work. But I don’t know if they are good with mosaic tile.
BTW - don’t read this is a racist post. It is a wonderful thing to excel at one’s craft. Whoever did that floor should be proud (in the classical era way).

Seeing as how every mosaic was a custom hand-made job, aren’t they all, by definition, rare?

Clicking through to the article, one can see how amazingly intact the terrerae (the small pieces of colored tile) of this mosaic are, making the identification of images and words and themes easier than in most such excavations.

Incredibly ‘rare’ Roman mosaic depicting the Trojan War is found in Syria

And they also found a certificate of authenticity.
