Part of a Roman-era mosaic, nicknamed "Gypsy Girl" that was found in the ancient city of Zeugma, is exhibited at the Zeugma Mosaic Museum, in Gaziantep, Turkey, Saturday, Dec. 8, 2018. Parts of the mosaic which were exhibited at a U.S. university's art collection were returned to Turkey, more than half a century after looters smuggled them out and are now displayed at the museum. Ohio's Bowling Green State University bought the 12 mosaics from a New York gallery in 1965. Turkish and Bowling Green officials agreed to their return in May 2018. [Photo: AP]
