There is a fear that the facility will not return to Uzes &#8211; a city in the south of France.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Roman mosaic covers an area of \u200b\u200b60 square meters and dates back to the 1st century BCE. It was located in the Roman city of <em>Ucetia<\/em>. The decision to move the mosaic was related to the decision to build a boarding school in this place.<\/p>\n<p>The local group <em>Prima Vera<\/em> spoke out against the transfer of the mosaic and put up an online petition demanding renovation in Uzes. Against protests, however, archaeologists from the <em>French National Institute for Archaeological Research<\/em> (Inrap) began a gradual relocation of the mosaic. One of the representatives of <em>Prima Vera<\/em> assured that official confirmation from the authorities had been received that the mosaic would return to Uzes and find a new place for it.<\/p>\n<p>According to scientists, the Roman mosaic is really impressive, not only because of its impressive size but also because of the combination of amazing geometric shapes and animal silhouettes (owl, <a href=\"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/curiosities\/eagle-symbol-of-rome\/\">eagle<\/a>, duck). Moreover, these types of mosaics date back to the 1st-2nd century CE, when the object from Uzes was created about 200 years earlier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":37223,"template":"","class_list":["post-117721","odkrycia-rzymskie","type-odkrycia-rzymskie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/117721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/odkrycia-rzymskie"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/odkrycia-rzymskie\/117721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/imperiumromanum.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
