ROMAN REMAINS
Walk amongst world-class Roman remains. Appreciate the pride and craftsmanship that created exquisite mosaic floors and search for where the Roman designers signed their work with a dolphin.
Imagine how, without the aid of a computer, the artist was able to design such wonders as Venus and the reluctant Cherub Gladiators, Ganymede being carried off by the Eagle and the Four seasons.
Put yourself in Roman shoes and imagine dining in luxury above the heated hypocaust floor or perhaps outside in freezing temperatures fuelling the furnace to keep your masters warm.
See the scale of the site that employed so many people, the North corridor, only one third exposed is the longest on display in the country and in full stretched the length of 3 tennis courts.
