In the heart of modern London, where glass skyscrapers reflect the rush of the present day, a remarkable Roman floor mosaic quietly anchors the city to its ancient origins. Dating back some 1,800 years to the 2nd century AD, this intricately patterned mosaic was once part of Londinium, the Roman settlement that thrived along the River Thames. Back then, Londinium was a vital outpost of the Roman Empire—a bustling hub of trade, governance, and military presence. Merchants, soldiers, and administrators moved through its stone-paved streets, bringing with them the culture and customs of Rome.
The mosaic itself once graced the floor of a Mansio, a luxury Roman lodging house reserved for high-ranking officials and their entourage. Comparable to an exclusive hotel, these establishments offered elegant accommodations and fine dining. The mosaic, likely located in the triclinium or dining area, would have dazzled guests as they reclined on couches, sipping wine and discussing matters of empire. Its geometric precision and enduring craftsmanship reflect not just artistic skill but the Roman emphasis on order, beauty, and status in public and private spaces alike.
Today, this ancient floor lies preserved beneath the towering skyline of 21st-century London—a striking juxtaposition of past and present. While the Romans departed nearly 1,600 years ago, relics like this mosaic remind us that London is not merely a modern global capital, but also a city built upon layers of human history. As commuters rush past and steel towers rise, the mosaic remains a silent witness to centuries of transformation, offering a rare and humbling glimpse into the lives of those who once called Londinium home.

What is the difference between Italian and Russian bees?
Italian and Russian bees are both excellent breeds for beekeeping, although they have a tendency to swarm. Each race of bee is hard-working and can produce large amounts of honey in the right conditions. Italian bees are less aggressive and easier to requeen but are more likely to rob. The Russian breed overwinters well and has good resistance to varroa mites and other pests.
1. Appearance
The Italian bee has yellowish-brown bands on a brown abdomen. The queen is often a darker shade of orange or leathery brown, making it easier for beekeepers to spot her in the hive.
Pure Russian honey bees are typically a black or dark brown shade with pale yellow stripes. But if the hive requeens, she could mate with other drone breeds, which will alter the appearance of the colony.
2. Origin
Researchers believe Italian bees originated from the southern region of Italy. In 1859, Italian honey bees were introduced to America, where they soon replaced German bees. Italian bees are now on every ...
“Whoever controls the food supply controls the people.”
Society can only survive and fully function with a robust and ample food supply & security. All roads lead from that. That’s why supporting farmers and farming is probably the most important campaign in this era. Without food (ideally fresh & local) societies crumble and public health diminishes.
Over the past 40 years, many of our public and essential assets have been sold off or plundered for corporate greed. Land is one of the last remaining asset grab battles. Support our farmers. Our food supply depends on them.
