Greetings all,
In the news, a Byzantine Church has been discovered in Israel:
Interestingly, this church seems to be one of the sites depicted in the Madaba Map mosaic from the 6th century AD, which depicted the Jerusalem area.
The
church itself featured a lovely circular mosaic, and interestingly a
medallion of the Greek Goddess Tyche. Coins discovered at the church
site date
from the 6th to the 8th centuries.
Rather fascinating that archaeology is still going on such a tense part of the world!
