In focus: Simon Tobias Bühler examines past societies in the Levant through mosaics

After studying Classical Archaeology and Art History in Basel, Simone Tobias Bühler completed his Master's degree in Cambridge. He has now returned to his former alma mater for his dissertation project, in which he is looking at mosaic paintings from the late antique eastern Levant, i.e. modern-day Jordan and Syria, between the 3rd and 8th centuries AD, and which he is carrying out as part of the "eikones" graduate program. The "In Focus" series presents the project in detail.
