Recently, I have visited Zeugma Mosaic Museum. I was craving to visit Zeugma since years.This museum have tons of mosaics from Roman time and famous with this specific piece called as Gypsy Girl. It is from Ancient Zeugma, 2nd - 3rd century AD . It was discovered in the building called the House of Menad during the excavations conducted by the Gaziantep Museum. As the excavations continued, it was understood that almost all the mosaics inside the building had been stolen. FortunatelyThe figure, called the Gypsy. Girl, was under the soil extracted from the illegal diggings and unseen by the traffickers; then it was brought to Museum. She was liken to a Gypsy Girl as a joke during the excavations since the appearance like earrings and the way her hair is made. You should definitely visit this magnificent musuem if you’re interested in Roman history.
