Right, this may be controversial, but we're going to say it anyway....
We think the Boxford Mosaic is rubbish. 😬
Seriously we have art stuck to our fridge door that's better. (please don't @ us).

The stunning late C4th mosaic from Boxford, England is a magnificent example of Romano-British art. Bellerophon, Pelops and Hercules smacking a centaur over the head with his club, all in one place. What more could you want? Just wonderful.

It all went downhill after the third century.
Because if anyone's going to be supportive of a Plantagenet discovery, it's a Tudor one...
Some are better than others though. Certainly more iconic...
The best of the rest will always only be mediocre in comparison.
Does make you wonder why we're Britain's Pompeii and not Britain's Vasa...
Mary Rose: Oh no. I'm the upgrade.
Thank you to all.
👏👏👏
Not wrong though.
