Archaeologists in southern Turkey are excavating an enormous mosaic, the largest of its kind in this region, that once surrounded an ancient Roman bath.
The mosaic covers 1,600 square feet (149 square meters) and seems to surround a large bath or pool.
The Roman mosaic found in Antoichia ad Cragum, an ancient city along the southern Turkey coast.
A farmer's plow first turned up tiles from the mosaic nearly 10 years ago, alerting archaeologists to the find.
Each section of the mosaic features its own geometric design.
Archaeologists have about 40 percent of the mosaic floor uncovered. They will continue excavating in summer 2013.
