(Reuters) A 1,800-year-old mosaic of toga-clad men dating back to the Roman era has been unearthed in Israel, archaeologists said on Thursday. The mosaic was discovered during the excavation of a building from the Byzantine period - some 300 years younger than the mosaic it was on top of - in the coastal city of Caesarea. The mosaic is of a high artistic standard, 3.5 meters by 8 meters in size, and depicts three toga-clad men, as well as geometric patterns and an inscription in Greek.
