Roman mosaic and villa complex found in Rutland farmer’s field A Roman villa containing a rare mosaic that depicts scenes from Homer’s Iliad has been found beneath a farmer’s field. The mosaic, found in Rutland, has been described as the first example of its kind in the UK. It was discovered by the landowner’s son and investigated by archaeologists from the University of Leicester. Historic England described the mosaic as “one of the most remarkable and significant…
ever found in Britain”.

The mosaic and surrounding villa complex have now been protected as a Scheduled
Monument by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) on the advice
of Historic England. The complex is thought to have been occupied by a wealthy individual from the late
Roman period. Jim Irvine, son of landowner Brian Naylor, made the initial discovery after spotting
“unusual pottery” on a walk during the 2020 lockdown, and contacted the archaeologicateam at Leicestershire County Council. He said: “My family have been farming this land for 50 or 60 years. “During lockdown last year, I noticed some pottery on the ground which didn’t look like any pottery I’d seen before. “We came down here with a spade and I dug a shallow trench and I was in exactly the right place.”

Historic England then funded urgent excavation work at the site by the University of Leicester.The mosaic, which forms the floor will have been a dining or entertaining area of the villa, measures 11m x 7m (36ft x 23ft).
Mosaics were regularly used in private and public buildings across the Roman Empire, and often featured famous figures from mythology. However, the Rutland mosaic is thought to be unique in the UK as it features Achilles and
his battle with Hector at the conclusion of the Trojan War. Investigations have revealed the large villa is surrounded by barns, circular structures and possibly a bath house. The complex is likely to have been occupied by someone with a knowledge of classical literature, between the 3rd and 4th Century AD.

John Thomas, deputy director of the University of Leicester Archaeological Services and project manager on the excavations, said: “This is certainly the most exciting Roman mosaic discovery in the UK in the last century.
“It gives us fresh perspectives on the attitudes of people at the time, their links to classical literature, and it also tells us an enormous amount about the individual who commissioned this piece. “This will have been someone with a knowledge of the classics, who had the money tocommission a piece of such detail, and it’s the very first depiction of these stories that
we’ve ever found in Britain.” Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, added: “To have uncovered such a
rare mosaic of this size, as well as a surrounding villa, is remarkable. “Discoveries like this are so important in helping us piece together our shared history. By protecting this site we are able to continue learning from it, and look forward to what future excavations may teach us about the people who lived there over 1,500 years ago.”

The site is on private land and not accessible to the public but discussions are ongoing with Rutland County Council to set up an off-site display of the villa complex.
