Massive "rare" ancient Roman mosaic, "rich in details," unearthed in Syria

TL;DR

Lebanese and Syrian businessmen from the neighboring country's Nabu Museum bought the property, which dates back to the 4th century, and donated it to the Syrian state.Each panel was filled with square-shaped, small colorful stones measuring about half an inch on each side."We can't identify the type of the building, whether it's a public bathhouse or something else, because we have not finished excavating yet," Saad told the AP.Sulaf Fawakherji, a famous actress in Syria and a member of the Nabu Museum's board of trustees said she hopes they could purchase other buildings in Rastan, which she says is filled with heritage sites and artifacts waiting to be discovered."There are other buildings, and it's clear that the mosaic extends far wider," Fawkherji told the AP."
