Roman Orpheus mosaic - Littlecote Park, Wiltshire

Littlecote Roman Villa is a Roman winged corridor villa and associated religious complex at Littlecote Park in east Wiltshire near Hungerford. The settlement may have begun life as a small short-lived military establishment guarding a crossing of the River Kennet. This was replaced by local circular farming huts around AD 70 and a Roman-style rectangular building fifty years later. Activity involved baking ovens, malting tanks and grinding stones. After another fifty years, this was replaced by a large two-storeyed winged corridor villa with integral bath suite. This building went through a number of changes over the subsequent centuries, notably a major rebuilding around AD 270. The villa had a number of mosaics and there were detached workshops, barns and a large gatehouse. Around AD 360 agricultural activity seems to have ended and the complex acquired a religious use. A large barn was converted into a courtyard and a very early triconch hall was built alongside with its own bath suite. Upon its floor was laid the now famous Orpheus mosaic, first discovered in 1727 by the Steward of the Littlecote Park estate. This mosaic is usually interpreted in very complicated pagan religious terms involving not only Orpheus, but Bacchus and Apollo, the hall being seen as a cult centre for these two gods. Other buildings may have been converted to accommodate visiting pilgrims. This development has been associated with the pagan revival under Julian the Apostate (361-363).

Adel, North Leeds.
This was built on the original road to Leeds, Damstone Lane, which ran north through Black Hill and on to Castley.
Nearby Adel Dam (which gave the Farm it's name) was built between 1715 and 1770 to provide water power for Adel Mill.
The Romans were milling corn here in 200AD, and recent excavations revealed a large Roman Villa near to the current location of the Corn Mill.

UK - Shropshire - Wroxeter - Wroxeter Roman City - Reconstructed Roman Town House

October 2012.
Long weekend in Shropshire based in Church Stretton.
Wroxeter (or 'Viroconium') was the fourth largest city in Roman Britain (almost the same size as Pompeii in Italy). It began as a legionary fortress and later developed into a thriving civilian city with around 5,000 people.
A fortress from about AD 47, military Wroxeter became a civilian settlement from about AD 90 and thrived for 400 years, before being quietly abandoned in the late antique period. A small village then grew up around the ford at the south end of the town, tucked in behind the Roman town defence, with an Anglo-Saxon church built from reused Roman masonry.
The town house was recently constructed using traditional Roman methods for a TV series.
