First uncovered in 1868 when workmen , digging trenches for a new drainage system , reached eight feet below street level and unwittingly unearthed a beautifully preserved Roman floor mosaic . Even more was discovered later , during the Blitz after a raid on Canterbury . This breathtaking Roman masterpiece is a stunning representation of original Roman art - the real floors of an ancient Roman town house . www . canterburymuseums . co . uk / canterbury-roman-museum
80 . Lullingstone Roman Villa , Eynsford Another Roman art treasure comes in the form of the floors of an ancient villa , almost perfectly preserved since about AD 100 .
