New mosaic discovered in Amphipolis
#5
It is not a real mosaic in the common style, a tesserae mosaic, but one composed of peebles, that is the early form. This helps establishing a terminus ante quem, while the stone barrel-vault which came into use not before the late 4th century BC gives a terminus post quem.
