International audience ; Accidentally discovered over 40 years ago, the church of Oum Nir has since been excavatedand documented but remains unpublished. Several of its mosaics have been cutout for preservation purposes and according to display requirements for the Ma᾽arretAn-Nou᾽man Museum. Thanks to photographs taken at the time of the discovery, it isnow possible to shed light on their initial position within the church; this new studythus allows us to reconstruct the layout of the decoration in its original architecturalcontext.
