Question

True or False. Excavations of the Roman city of Sepphoris have uncovered numerous detailed mosaics depicting several readily identifiable animal species: a hare, a partridge, and various Mediterranean fish. Oddly, most of the species represented did not live in the Sepphoris region when these mosaics were created. Since identical motifs appear in mosaics found in other Roman cities, however, the mosaics of Sepphoris were very likely created by traveling artisans from some other part of the Roman Empire.

Answer 1

TRUE, the mosaics of Sepphoris are created by the traveling artisans from some other part of the Roman Empire.

EXPLANATION:

It is believed that the Sepphoris mosaics were created by the travelling artisans, since there was no general knowledge about the species that are not present in the Sepphoris region.

The artist travels from one part of the Rome Empire to other and gains knowledge about the species that are not present in the Sepphoris region. The figures of the animals that are created in the Sepphoris mosaics are not identified by all the people, since many of them are not aware of the species.
