The Archaeological Museum of Antakya:

In Antakya (ancient Antioch) we had the privilege of visiting the Archaeological Museum.  This museum has an outstanding collection of Roman mosaics, some of which were portrayals of life in ancient Antioch. 


I'm not sure that the pictures do justice to these ancient works of art.  Never-the-less, here are a few examples of what we saw.  Some of these mosaics were fully the size of a room floor, or a full size wall.  In some cases, sections are missing.
