Archaology Magazine article on Mosaic

[jan]

The current issue of Archaelogoy magazine has an article about the famous King Darius and Alexander mosaic which was found at Pompeii. The entire mosaic has been restored and returned to Pompeii, and the article describes the work that was undertaken to achieve this feat. For years it had been kept at some Museum site but is now at Pompeii. Oddly enough, an article on Pocohantas is also in this issue with a great picture of Colin Farrell in his look of John Smith.

Mmm, no it hasn't, Jan. I think you might want to read the article again. :-)Marcus posted about this a little while ago. The mosaic has been recreated, and it is the copy that has been returned to Pompeii while the original remains in the museum at Naples. Nice article though.Best regards,Amyntoros

I wonder if they gave any thought to reconstructing the missing parts. Now there is a jigsaw puzzle!Gary
