Viggen Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 The mosaic was unearthed last month during excavations at what will eventually form the goods lift at the new museum site in central Lincoln. Further work has since unearthed more of the red and white mosaic, which measures approximately four metres square. Experts now believe that it formed the corridor of a luxurious Roman Town House dating from the third or fourth century AD. Numerous fragments of painted plaster have also been retrieved from the site, indicating that the walls of the corridor were brightly decorated. Such lavish decoration of walls and floors suggests that the owners were very wealthy. more with images at 24hourMuseum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
