There’s a mosaic that archaeologists unearthed in the ancient city of Sepphoris in Israel. Colloquially it’s called “the Mona Lisa of Sepphoris.”
The city was destroyed by the Romans for rebellion sometime around the switch from B.C. to A.D. Later Herod Antipas, the head-chopper of John the Baptist, came along and rebuilt the city to make it his capital for Galilee. He built a huge metropolis (by the standards of the time).
This occurred during the childhood and young adulthood of Jesus, and Nazareth was six miles away from Sepphoris.
