Met a friend yesterday who's moved to very near Brading Roman villa on Isle of Wight, so I've dug out photo from a while ago to celebrate:
It has to be the enigmatic and wonderful chicken man mosaic.
Think a visit may be called for.....

The ‘Shell Mosaic’ from Verulamium - the third largest town in Roman Britain, situated close to modern St. Albans. The mosaic is one of 49 discovered during excavations, and dates to around 150 AD. Currently on display at Verulamium Museum. #MosaicMonday #RomanBritain 📸 My own

For my followers in Eboracum and Londinium, here you have the 'Gift of wine' mosaic from Astigi, in good old Baetica. It was the seat of a conventus and now the snowflakes call it Écija.

I was lucky enough to spend some time in Westminster cathedral #London on Saturday admiring the 20th century Christian mosaics based on #byzantine themes. The juxtaposition with all the glass buildings around Victoria station is amazing

#MosaicMonday this week takes us to the #Palatine hill in #Rome , where a lovely #opussectile floor left buried under a fountain shows the #Augustan taste for magnificence and a #Domitianic indifference to expense.

#EarthDay #MosaicMonday This lovely #Roman -inspired mosaic was made by children guided by a local artist for @TheWildEscape It's a reflection on #conservation , biodiversity & the changes brought about by human activity. The #boar alludes to the animals now extinct in the UK.

Just in time for #MosaicMonday .
Lovely little modern mosaic at the Roman bath house in Prestatyn, #NorthWales commemorating the XX Legion, who built it. Now incongruously in the middle of a housing estate. Visited today with BasedInChurton :)
