The Orpheus Mosaic at Littlecote Roman villa is an astounding relic from almost 2,000 years ago. Open to the public, this phenomenal floor was only discovered in the 18th century and has undergone careful restoration work. The mosaic is thought to be connected to the Pagan revival which took place around 361 AD.
