Signs of the Zodiac (astrological signs) were a popular theme for mosaics in
Byzantine (late Roman) times. They were most often found together with
Jewish themes on elaborately decorated synagogue floors. The most famous
zodiac mosaics in the Holy Land are those in the synagogues of Hammat
Tiberias (on the shore of the Sea of Galilee) and Beit Alpha in the Jezreel
Valley.
