In 1971, the Newark Museum purchased a Roman mosaic, which, it later learned, had been stolen from the Syrian site of Apamea. Upon formal request for return of the mosaic, the museum arranged for its return with the assistance of the U.S. State Department. The museum received compensation from the dealer from whom the mosaic was purchased. This restitution was undertaken in the hope that future cooperation, including long-term loans of duplicate material, would be fostered, but the author concludes that this hope was never realized
