(IsraelNN.com) An ancient mosaic floor featuring the flora and fauna enjoyed by the artisans nearly two millennia ago is about to be unveiled in the city of Lod. The site of the mosaic will be open to the general public from July 9 through July 11 – but one can also observe the conservation work being performed on the mosaic in a live broadcast via the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) web site at www.antiquities.org.il .

The 1,700-year-old floor, one of the most magnificent and largest mosaics ever revealed in the State of Israel, was first uncovered in the city in 1996.
