0:48 It is incorrect to say "Rome's occupation of England", as the Romans were there before the Anglo-Saxons and therefore before the land became known as 'England'.

Incredible! So now what do they do with it? Can they somehow get it out of there in one piece and transport it to a place where it can be protected and preserved?

Shouldn't it be shaded to protect the dyes from fading? Was this in a house or was it outdoors? Are there signs of other structures?

This time, uncover all of it. Move it and install it somewhere people can see it.

I wonder if it was quarried and crafted locally or if some poor sods had to transport it from Italy.

I've seen more detail in mosaics on the side of the road in Tunis. No dates were given either. Far too little information and not even a good view of the floor.

England didn't exist back then so there was no "occupation" by Rome. That was simply a part of the roman empire, not England or whatever...
