Zeugma Mosaic Museum in Turkey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Zeugma Mosaic Museum is located in Gaziantep (Turkey) and has the<b> largest collection of Roman mosaics in the world<\/b>, which together cover an area of \u200b\u200b2448 m\u00b2. Interestingly, further parts of the complex are to be put into operation, on which further mosaics will be visible. In total, over 3,000 m\u00b2 of antique mosaics are to be made available.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular mosaic is the so-called <b>&#8220;Gypsy&#8221;<\/b>, which was unveiled (from under the column) between 1998 and 1999. Interestingly, this mosaic was largely demolished and taken out of Turkey as early as the 1960s. In 2018, however, some of the mosaic fragments were lost.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists gave the mosaic the name&#8221; Gypsy&#8221; because of the characteristic <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-society\/clothing-in-ancient-rome\/\">clothing<\/a> and round earrings. It is believed, however, that the mosaic shows either one of Menadas (companion of Dionysus) or Gaia &#8211; the goddess of the earth. There are also voices suggesting that he is really a man, and maybe even Alexander the Great himself.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to mosaics, in the museum tourists can see 140 m\u00b2 of frescoes, 4 Roman fountains, 20 columns, 4 sculptures, a statue of <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-religion\/gods-of-ancient-rome\/list-of-roman-gods\/mars\/\">Mars<\/a>, grave steles and sarcophagi.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"ramka_ze_zdjeciem float-center \"\n         style=\"\">\n\n        <div class=\"zdjecie\">\n            <img\n                class=\"ramka-ze-zdjeciem\"\n                src=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Virgil_mosaic_in_the_Bardo_National_Museum_Tunis_12241228546-640x652.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Virgil_mosaic_in_the_Bardo_National_Museum_Tunis_12241228546-640x652.jpg 640w, https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Virgil_mosaic_in_the_Bardo_National_Museum_Tunis_12241228546-393x400.jpg 393w, https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Virgil_mosaic_in_the_Bardo_National_Museum_Tunis_12241228546.jpg 800w\"                alt=\"Virgil at the Bardo Museum in Tunisia\"\n                width=\"600\"\n                height=\"611\"\n               \n               \n            \/>\n\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Virgil_mosaic_in_the_Bardo_National_Museum_Tunis_12241228546.jpg\"\n               rel=\"fancybox\"\n               title=\"Virgil at the Bardo Museum in Tunisia\">\n                <div class=\"iover\">\n                    <div class=\"zicon\">\n                        <i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"opis\">\n                                <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/biographies\/virgil\/\">Virgil<\/a> at the Bardo Museum in Tunisia            <\/div>\n        \n        \n    <\/div>\n    \n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"ii-the-bardo-museum-in-tunisia\"><\/span>II.

Within the huge museum, there are several of the most beautiful Roman mosaics discovered in Britain. These include the image of Christ or Bacchus riding a tiger. Especially the second object &#8211; the medallion with more than a meter in diameter &#8211; is really interesting. Bacchus, riding a tiger, is nothing more than a reference to the mythological conquest of India by the god of wine and fertility.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"vi-pompeii-and-the-national-archaeological-museum-of-naples\"><\/span>VI. <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-geography\/roman-cities\/pompeii\/\">Pompeii<\/a> and the National Archaeological Museum of Naples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n    <div class=\"ramka_ze_zdjeciem float-center \"\n         style=\"\">\n\n        <div class=\"zdjecie\">\n            <img\n                class=\"ramka-ze-zdjeciem\"\n                src=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Alexander_the_Great_mosaic-640x384.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Alexander_the_Great_mosaic-640x384.jpg 640w, https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Alexander_the_Great_mosaic-400x240.jpg 400w, https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Alexander_the_Great_mosaic.jpg 800w\"                alt=\"Image of Alexander of Macedonia during the Battle of Issos - Roman mosaic\"\n                width=\"600\"\n                height=\"360\"\n               \n               \n            \/>\n\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Alexander_the_Great_mosaic.jpg\"\n               rel=\"fancybox\"\n               title=\"Image of Alexander of Macedonia during the Battle of Issos - Roman mosaic\">\n                <div class=\"iover\">\n                    <div class=\"zicon\">\n                        <i class=\"fa fa-search-plus\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n\n                    <div class=\"opis\">\n                                Image of Alexander of Macedonia during the Battle of Issos - <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-art-and-culture\/roman-mosaic\/\">Roman mosaic<\/a>            <\/div>\n        \n        \n    <\/div>\n    \n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-geography\/roman-cities\/pompeii\/\">Pompeii<\/a> is a treasury of knowledge about ancient Rome, mainly due to beautifully preserved artefacts. Pompeii was a wealthy city with numerous public buildings, sports arenas, theatres and temples. The city <span class=\"underlined\">with its 64 hectares and 20,000 people<\/span> was a completely average social centre of the Roman Empire in the 1st century CE. This fact makes it an important city for historians and archaeologists. To a large extent, ruins, objects and bodies reveal the Romans&#8217; lifestyle of that time.<\/p>\n<p>An extremely valuable source of knowledge for scientists are preserved mosaics. A large part of them was transferred to the National Archaeological Museum in Naples to prevent damage. The most important of them is<b> a work depicting Alexander of Macedon during the Battle of Issos<\/b> (333 BCE), in which Macedonians, commanded by Alexander with the Persian <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-army\/\">army<\/a>, led by Darius III.<span id=\" more-33658\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The object was found in the so-called House of <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-religion\/gods-of-ancient-rome\/list-of-roman-gods\/fauna\/\">Fauna<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/roman-geography\/roman-cities\/pompeii\/\">Pompeii<\/a>. The mosaic is 2, 72 wide by 5, 13 m long.
