Cool! Buried for centuries like the one I showed you from Dinnington.

OSHA would shut them down in a minute for a trench like that.

Finding more beautiful things the Romans built to last the ages.

It’s beautiful, but why bury it underground?

There’s nothing more beautiful in antiquity than mosaics (IMO).

Thanks SC!

That floor is looking good for hundreds of years under a layer of dirt.

OT, but those guys need some expert assistance on trench shoring. That is a disaster waiting to happen.

How did so much earth get put upon the ancient floor? Did the landowner have it brought in to creat more arable land?

Very cool. The source article has more examples of what was unearthed.

We got to actually walk on the tiles at a 3rd century villa in Sicily last year. 35 million tiles. Late empire money escaping Rome, as they could see the handwriting on the walls.

That’s so odd.

Why’d the Romans pave the bottom of a deep trench with mosaics?
