Abstract

There is a multitude of publications about Roman villas in the UK and some about the creation in mosaics the people of the Roman Empire produced upon their arrival in the British Isles. I focus here on mosaics found in Roman habitation within Oxfordshire, UK: the pavement at Stonefield discovered in 1712 and reproduced in textile during the eighteenth century, as well as the mosaic floor in room 30 at the North Leigh Roman Villa (fourth century AD). My paper does not reiterate substantially what other pieces of speciality literature say, but offers an update (up to January 2025) with respect to the two historical vestiges mentioned above.
