The Rutland Roman villa is a Romano-British villa site in Rutland, England. The site was listed as a scheduled monument by Historic England on 23 November 2021.[1] The villa includes the first example of a mosaic in Britain which depicts scenes from Homer's Iliad.[2]
A geophysical survey of the site in 2021 showed evidence of a large villa complex including indications of a formal garden, a bath house, perhaps a chapel and two mausolea.[3][4] Further excavations in 2022 uncovered the bath house as well as a second mosaic, possibly from a dining area of the villa.[5]
This type of large luxurious villa complex is unusual in this part of Roman Britain (see List of Roman villas in England)
