The Middleborough mosaic

This is a fine mosaic floor, found in 1979. It once graced a wealthy Roman house that lay just outside the Roman town walls. Its design includes pictures of sea-beasts, birds and a central panel with wrestling cupids (the image is reproduced courtesy of the Colchester Archaeological Trust)
