Roman Villa Discovered in Wiltshire

The Royals never expressed an interest in archaeology before, I doubt they'd pitch in.

You can re-grown grass after a dig, so that shouldn't be a problem. But something like this should probably be done by specialists so I can understand preferring to wait. It's not going anywhere in the meantime.

The Staffordshire hoard? Oh yes, mindblowing thing. I'm always a bit jealous about that, we get only small silver hoards around here, never gold and never quite as exquisite as that. (I am a big fan of saxon cloisonné jewelry. Sooo pretty.)

But hey, we do have more Roman villas! (maybe not all with pretty mosaics but who's counting?)
