During demining at Akerbat village in the Hama Governorate, Syrian army troops have discovered a Byzantine-era mosaic with a surface area of about 50 square meters, reported the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).

“A seven-meter-long square mosaic is discovered,” local police chief Ahmad Tah told SANA. In his words, experts continue to clean the mosaic and bring it out.

In August 2017, after the liberation of Barada Valley—near capital city Damascus—from the militants, Syrian researchers had discovered there a perfectly preserved rare mosaic.
