It's awesome to realize there are still significant chunks of history to be uncovered. Who knows what else we'll discover about ancient civilizations.
Its only going to get harder. I think this mosaic was about to be covered up by a highway. Istanbul was home to the roman empire for a long time. Artifacts like roman shields only 1 or 2 have ever been found. and since swords were iron most of them disintegrated.
