Prof Jodi Magness will be speaking at 5.00pm (British Summer Time) about ‘More than just Mosaics: The Ancient Synagogue at Huqoq’and the lecture will be followed by a Q&A session. Since 2011 Professor Jodi Magness has been directing excavations in the ancient village of Huqoq in Israel’s Galilee. This extraordinary site has brought to light the remains of a monumental Late Roman, 5th century CE synagogue paved with stunning and unique mosaics. They include both biblical scenes and the first non-biblical story discovered decorating an ancient synagogue. In this illustrated talk, Professor Magness describes these exciting finds, including the latest discoveries made in the last season.
