Two ‘unique’ Fullerton Roman mosaics banned from leaving the UK
The villa was first discovered during excavation as part of a continuing exploration of the upper Test Valley.
In 1904, the mosaics were uncovered and moved to Fullerton Manor.
In 2022, archaeologist Barry Cunliffe confirmed they had come from the walkway that ran along the southern end of the villa.
One section was relaid in Fullerton Manor, the other is in Andover Museum.
They have been described as having “unique defining characteristics”.
The first one, set at the recommended price of £380,000, shows what is believed to be a “running pelta” design, with crescent-shaped small shields arranged in a geometric pattern.
The second mosaic, recommended for the price of £180,000, shows geometric designs created with tiles of same colour scheme and background.
