First-Ever Diagnostic Analysis Of Alexander The Great Mosaic Reveals Where Its Pieces Came FromA close up photo of the face of Alexander the Great (and his horse) in the famous mosaic. The image shows him looking towards the Persian army, his face on contrast. He is wearing armor with a face motif on the breast and he is holding the shaft of what is probably a spear. There are also parts of the image that are missing, as the piece is not complete.
