This illustrated article from Biblical Archaeology Review examines the occurrence and context of zodiac and other "pagan" symbols that appear alongside Biblical scenes in mosaics discovered from the 1920s onwards in the 6th century Jewish settlements of the Jazreel Valley near Galilee, dating from the time when Talmudic Judaism was emerging .
The article includes a great many pictures of the mosaics, many of which are very well preserved
