Bignor Roman villa is near Arundel in Sussex; it was a large, very prosperous Roman-British farm complex of the third century. This rather solemn woman is thought to be Venus, although this is not hundred percent certain. The amount of work and skill that went into making these mosaics, to be lain in an obscure farmhouse at the Westernmost margins of the empire, is extraordinary and just as incredible that they were so well made to have survived to this day.
