The wealth of Heritage Israel It is infinite. This publication dedicare simply show the works of art made in mosaics that the Romans left throughout the region during the period of domination and some works that current artists have recreated in the region.

Already in 40 BC there were Roman presence in the region when the Roman Senate named as Governor and King of Judea Herod the Great as authority and at his death were his sons who would rule. Later the empire add other areas thus forming the Roman Province Iudaea (Judea) whose best-known authority was Pontius Pilate, but later in the century 6 after Christ the Romans came to rule it directly to end rebellions and disorder that prevailed in the region. Herod Agrippa I from the 41 al 44 D.C.. He ruled with some freedom, then his son was who succeeded, but to die this and the province would become entirely controlled by Rome, in the year 100 D.C..

Centuries of history contained in these cities, its streets, his ways, its walls.
