Menderes mosaic
It was found in the Menderes Quarter, in the Nizip district of Gaziantep. In 2012 it came to the museum. It’s a mosaic from the biggest church from Late Antiquity in the south-eastern Anatolian region. The church had a small apsis from the first stage, in a later stage the church was extended with a larger apsis, a baptistry and extended naves. The first stage a coin indicated it was from the first quarter of the 4th century AD, the extension seems to be from 414-415. Mosaics are from different periods too, and are quite complicated and admirable.
The English text is part covered by some squares that belong to the general design of notices in the museum. Too bad for people who want to read those parts, design comes increasingly first in modern museums.
