What is the truth of the mosaic of the twins Romulus and Remus?

The mosaic represents  the twins Romulus and Remus , identified by their names, being suckled by the she-wolf. The Mosaic was found in Apamea in Syria, dated 511 AD . Apameia was a colony founded by Alexander's general Seleucos Nicator. Now the mosaic is in the Caravanserai Museum, Syria. Our books say that Romulus and Remus found Rome. Their story is recorded also by many "ancient" authors who claim their birth and adventures were fated in order for Rome to be founded. There is something very strange in this mosaic.  Our books say it is a Roman mosaic.  If he/she was a Roman, the question is why he/she did not write it in Latin but used an alphabet that we call it today ancient Greek alphabet?  If he/she was a Greek, why would he/she lay a Roman theme mosaic? What is written there?  What language is it?  What are these people that are Roman but write in ancient Greek? There are written these words; "piho" , "gsis" , "dve", " gon"
