Pretty Roman Pictures

So this week's article is archeology-based.  It is about a mosaic that was found under a farmer's field in Turkey.  Now, I am not really sure how you can grow a field over a tile mosaic.  Or, more importantly, why you would want to.  Roman mosaics are so pretty that it seems a shame to cover one up with grass and crops.  This mosaic was from the 3rd or 4th century, too!  That's a really long time for a mosaic to stay in as good a condition as they found it in, especially if there were roots growing down from the plants above.  Anyway, I just thought that the article was cool, since you generally don't think about still finding mosaics unless you go out on an archeological dig to specifically look for signs of a civilization.
