More about this scene

The villa, one of the largest in Britain, was discovered by a ploughman in 1811. On show to the public are various mosaics, which are considered to be among the finest in the country. The entire estate may have extended to about 200 acres, confirming that an important and very wealthy person resided here - perhaps the Roman equivalent of an English aristocrat.
