Huge floor mosaic revealed
希臘古墓現馬賽克拼圖

Archaeologists have uncovered a huge mosaic floor recently excavated within the ancient tomb of Amphipolis, the largest burial site ever found in Greece, foreign media reported. The mosaic, 3 meters long and 4.5 meters wide, depicts a horseman with a laurel wreath driving a chariot and preceded by the god Hermes, according to the Greek Culture Ministry. A circular area of the mosaic is missing, but authorities say enough fragments have been found to reconstruct a large part. Archaeologists have dated the mosaic to the 4th century BC, and believe that the grave was most likely a relative or one of Alexander the Great's generals.(See photo)
據外媒報道，日前考古學家在希臘最大的墓葬群——安菲波利墓葬群發現了一幅巨大的地面馬賽克拼圖。希臘文化部稱這個馬賽克拼圖有3米長、4.5米寬，圖上描繪的是一個佩戴桂冠的男子架著馬車，由希臘神明赫爾墨斯牽引。這幅拼圖中的一個圓形部分缺失，但是當局表示有足夠的碎片可以重新復原其中的大部分。考古學家認為這幅拼圖可追溯到公元前四世紀，并猜測這個墓穴很可能是亞歷山大大帝親屬或將軍的墓穴。(見圖)
