Roman Mosaic (The Bucklersbury Mosaic)


Type: Gallery Image | Not Vetted



This is the Bucklersbury Mosaic. One heavy presence of Roman culture among the people of Roman London was the existence of well-decorated architecture. The mosaic shown in this image was found in 1869 during the construction of a street. It is said to have been there from a private building in the AD 240s. It was most likely a bath suite or maybe even a dining room as mosaics were well fit in these areas of Roman Architecture. It is one of the more well-preserved stone pieces of London history as it has been fixed up and put on display for the public (the condition it is in as viewed in the image).
