Description: Tile in the floor of Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem thought to be from the Roman Period (135 - 325 CE). Presumably related to pagan religious construction on the Temple Mount at that time. Discovered by Robert William Hamilton (1905-1995) during renovations to Al-Aqsa Mosque in the 1930s. This image is held in the archives of the Rockefeller Museum in Jerusalem.
