A largely intact Roman-era mosaic depicting the mythical Trojan War was discovered in the ruins of an ancient Syrian city earlier this week. Measuring 120 square meters (1,300 square feet), the mosaic is thought to be 1,600 years old and depicts a range of mythological figures, as well as rare panels depicting the Trojan War. The mosaic was discovered in a 4th-century building in the city of Al-Rastan, during excavations being carried out by the Syrian General Directorate of Antiquities and Museums.
