The ancient synagogue of Gaza was built in 508 CE during the Byzantine period and was discovered in 1965. It was located in the ancient port city of Gaza, then known as "Maiumas", currently the Rimal district of Gaza City.
Discovery
In 1965, Egyptian archaeologists discovered the site and announced they had uncovered a church. Later a mosaic of King David wearing a crown and playing a lyre, labelled in Hebrew, was found. The mosaic was dated to 508-09 CE and measured Template:M to ft high by Template:M to ft wide. The Egyptian archaeologists stated that the mosaic was in fact a depiction of Orpheus, a Greek mythological figure who was commonly associated with David and commonly used in Byzantine art. Shortly after the mosaic's discovery, David's face was gouged out. When the Israelis captured the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Six-Day War, they brought what remained to the Israel Museum and restored it.
