EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history frozen in time - the Roman pavement discovered by workmen at Cannon Street. The intricate tesselated pavement, made up of tiles of red tesserae, was unearthed at a depth of 12 feet from the surface, revealing a glimpse into ancient Roman craftsmanship. The lack of pattern on the pavement adds to its mysterious allure, leaving us to wonder about the stories it holds.
The vault found alongside the pavement contained fragments of Samian red pottery, further enriching this archaeological discovery. Despite being destroyed by building works, this historical site still manages to captivate our imagination and transport us back to 17th century Rome.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our past and honoring those who came before us. This image serves as a reminder that history is all around us, waiting to be uncovered and explored. Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty and significance of this Roman artifact discovered on that fateful day in April 1852.
