The floor was once part of a building in Eretria , a town on the island of Euboea that was home to an ancient Greek settlement.
Researchers dated the home to the late classical period, or the mid-fourth century B.C. , since the mosaic floor is similar to one found in a nearby structure.
The colorful pattern "gives realism and vitality to the figures of the show," according to the statement.
