Zeugma Labyrinth Mosaic

A Roman labyrinth mosaic from Zeugma — the ancient border city on the Euphrates destroyed by Sassanid invasion in 253 CE — now displayed in the Zeugma Mosaic Museum in Gaziantep, the world's largest mosaic museum at 1,700 square meters. The labyrinth accompanies scenes of Daedalus and Icarus, linking the maze to its mythological inventor. Zeugma's mosaics, rescued from rising dam waters in the early 2000s, rank among the finest surviving Roman artworks. At Giza bearing 36.62°, the site guards the crossing point between Mesopotamian and Mediterranean civilizations.
