The mosaic in the ruined St Stephen's Church in Um Al Rasas south of Madaba is quite exceptional, showing a central panel, much disfigured by "iconoclasts" in Byzantine times, but the side borders which you can see clearly here depict towns in Palestine, Egypt and Jordan. They are named for easier identification and give us an idea what these towns were actually like. It seems as if the images chosen were is some sort a "symbol" of that town at the time the mosaic was made - it has been dated to 785AD.
