Researchers at the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) have painstakingly reconstructed a stunning collection of ancient Roman frescoes. These decorative wall paintings once adorned a building in Londinium, the ancient Roman settlement that would later become London. Dating back over 1,800 years, the colorful fragments represent one of the largest finds of painted Roman plaster in the city.
