The FBI handed over the Italian government to the ancient mosaic picture of about 2,000 years old, considered an important part of Rome history.

The anti -art crime unit of the US Federal Investigation Department (FBI) received an announcement of antiques by 2020 from a lawyer.

The picture is estimated at 2,000 years old, cut into 16 pieces, each weighing 34-90 kg and stored in separate wooden boxes.

The client of this lawyer did not have the papers to verify the work of art, so he could not legally sell, reported on September 2 of the FBI.

American officials also could not determine when the antiques were brought into the United States, but the Medusa mosaic had been missing at least 100 years.

The latest data on the existence of the mosaic picture was in 1959, in a newspaper ad, selling antiques in Los Angeles, the FBI said.

According to the Allen Grove, the mosaic picture was made by hand, helping to understand more about the life of the Rome people 2,000 years ago, and show the creativity and the uniqueness of the era that was crafted.

Italian officials went to Los Angeles to check the antiques and coordinate to the capital.

Experts in Italy are continuing to restrain the mosaic picture.
