Caesarea continued.



The Hippodrome, spectator stands on right sea on left.
Sue is waiting patiently for her favourite chariot driver.

A close up revealed that they are made with thousands of squares of marble stone chips ranging from about 1 cm sq.
The tile layers must have put in some overtime huh !
