Experts have reconstructed 2,000-year-old Roman frescoes from thousands of fragments in a remarkable archaeological achievement.
The parts were discovered at a site in Southwark, near London Bridge and Borough Market, during an excavation in 2021.
It has revealed one of the largest and most significant collections of painted Roman wall plaster ever found in the capital.
Archaeologists from the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) have spent four years carefully analysing and assembling the shattered remnants, which once adorned at least 20 internal walls of a high-status Roman building.
Dating between AD 40 and 150, the frescoes were discarded into a pit during the early third century when the building was demolished.
