ROMANS IN BRITAIN.
DISCOVERIES AT VERULAM. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, September 14. One of the most beautiful of the Roman coloured floors yet found in Britain has been discovered at St. Albans, Hertfordshire, on the site of Verulam, the first great Roman city in Britain. The design represents the rising sun, and after 1800 years the colours still remain bright, although the mortar between the small square stones is damaged. The floor was found under only 2ft of eartli.
