Floor pictures reveal 6th century synagogue art in Palestine
In 525 a contractor Marianos and his son Hanina laid an ornamental stone mosaic floor in a northern Palestine village synagogue. Their dated inscription, noting Justinian’s era, makes this building the only Palestinian synagogue with a precisely known date, aiding reconstruction of ancient religious life alongside churches and mosques.
