The 497m length ancient marble wall around the burial was almost entirely unearthed by archeologists, as well as the entrance to the burial and three first chambers.
Besides, the floor mosaic of the 4th century BC was discovered in the tomb. It depicts two men: one of them – with a laurel wreath on his head – drives a chariot pulled by two white horses, another man — wearing a robe on his shoulders and winged sandals — who is supposed to be Pluto, the god of the underworld — leads one of the horses. As scientists estimate, the mosaic illustrates Persehone's abduction by Pluto.
Amphipolis is the ancient Greek city, ruins of which are located in the present-day region of Central Macedonia on the Aegean Sea coast.
