Ancient Roman masterpieces emerge from a London demolition pit

Archaeologists in London’s Southwark have uncovered one of the largest collections of painted Roman wall plaster ever found in the city, revealing vibrant frescoes from a high-status Roman building over 1,800 years old.

The fragments, discovered in a Roman-era demolition pit, feature bright yellow panels decorated with birds, flowers, and musical motifs, along with rare details like ancient graffiti and a possible painter’s signature.

Led by the Museum of London Archaeology, experts spent months painstakingly reconstructing the artwork, offering new insights into Roman artistry and daily life in ancient Londinium, NPR has reported.

The findings will be studied further and eventually displayed to the public, shedding light on Roman Britain’s cultural richness.
