3. Musaica: The high art of Ratae Mosaics

Continuing our dramatised tour of Roman Leicester, we uncover the city’s mosaics, which are among the finest found in Britain.

From the Blackfriars and Peacock Mosaics to the Ketton Mosaic which was discovered accidentally during the Covid-19 pandemic by a Rutland farmer’s son.
