Summary
A mosaic from Leptis Magna, attributed to Silin, has been analyzed for its potential depiction of the city's ancient amphitheater.

Researchers employed comparative analysis of known structures and stylistic elements to support their findings, providing a fresh perspective on the interpretation of Roman mosaics.
