Mosaic Floor of the ancient Beth Alpha Synagogue


My second card from Israel showing a mosaic floor from one of the most ancient synagogues in the world.  It dates from Roman times about 2000 years ago.  The mosaic floor contains the signs of the zodiac.  Mosaic floors were common then in places of worship or with very rich people.
