Mosaic Floor with Views of Alexandria and Memphis Early Byzantine. The Egyptian cities of Alexandria (left) and Memphis (right) are depicted here surrounded by tall date palms and lush, aquatic plants, the flora of the Nile. The high, turreted walls and the architecture within are depicted in the typical Byzantine style: a combination of bird's-eye and perspective views. The church of Saints Peter and Paul, where this mosaic once lay, and its founder, Bishop Anastasius, are mentioned in the Greek inscription at center.
