Roman mosaic in Britain reveals a 2,000 year old Trojan War secret

A remarkable Roman mosaic found in Rutland turns out to tell a forgotten version of the Trojan War. Rather than Homers famous epic, it reflects a lost Greek tragedy by Aeschylus, featuring vivid scenes of Achilles and Hector. Its artistic patterns echo designs from across the ancient Mediterranean, some dating back 800 years before the mosaic was made. The discovery suggests Roman Britain was deeply plugged into the wider classical world.
