Katherine V Huntley<p>This is probably my favorite mosaic ever. It was found at Aldborough (now at the Leeds City Museum) and dates to 300-400CE. It depicts a scene from Rome's foundation myth: the twins, Romulus and Remus, and the she-wolf. I don't care what anyone says. This is a masterpiece. Just look at the face on the she-wolf. What a beautiful smile! lol.
