The Rutland Roman Villa Project with Jennifer Browning

Jennifer Browning from ULAS talks on The Rutland Roman Villa Project. This is the first chance to hear about one of the most exciting excavations since the discovery of Richard III, an extraordinary Roman mosaic discovered beneath a field in Rutland. The mosaic is the first example in the UK displaying scenes from Homer’s The Illiad, and one of only a handful from across Europe. It is considered one of the most remarkable and significant Roman mosaics ever found in Britain.
This talk was recorded live for the Leicestershire Fieldworkers on 02/12/2021. The Q&A session is hosted by Peter Liddle, Chair of the Leicestershire Fieldworkers.
