Unique mosaic discovered in Stara Zagora

2011-10-13   |  www.VisitBulgaria.net

A unique mosaic was discovered by archaeologists in the city of Stara Zagora in Bulgaria. The mosaic depicts the three figures of Bacchus and two bacchantes, all companions from the suite of God Dionysus. The mosaic is a unique finding for Bulgaria. It is believed that the mosaic dates back to the end of the second century and the beginning of the third century AD.

"The complicated shapes of dancing women are proof of the great mastership of the artists who created it," said Dimitar Yankov, head of the excavation works and chief curator of the Regional Historical Museum in Stara Zagora.

Archaeologists believe that the building was a temple of Dionysus. It is located 30 meters from one of the walls of Augusta Trayana. When moved and restored the mosaic will most probably be exhibited at the Ancient street in the museum in Stara Zagora.
