The society of antiquaries
issued engravings of about to be lost or threatened structures
in the series Vetusta Monumenta (Ancient Monuments), which ran
intermittently from 1718 to 1906.The full title is "Vetusta
monumenta quae ad Rerum Britanicarum memoriam conservandam
Societas Antiquariorum Londini sumptu suo edenda curavit", but
the volumes are normally simply listed as Vetusta Monumenta.
There were various reprints of both individual papers and
collected volumes, and the plates were often published
separately from the text. "The seven volumes are dated 1747,
1789, 1796, 1815, 1835, 1883 and 1906 (for the fourth part of
vol.7). The plates for vol. 1 were published between 1718 and

Description: 'Tria pavimenta tessellata Romani operis, animantium figuris, aliisque diversi generais ornamentis, variis coloribus eleganter depicta; quae in agro Wintertoniae, Lincolniensis comitatus oppidi, prope fluvius Trentam et Humbram anno MDCCXLVII primum reperiebantur. His quartum est adjunctum, apud Roxby vicinum oppidum, sed nondum penitus retectum. Tria priora ex his pavimentis contigua fere sibi invicem locabantur, quorum primum tridinio fuisse substratum conjectari licet. In medio enim Orpheus sedet citharam pulsans, quem bruta circumdant animalia cantu delinita; et in quatuor angulis totidem crateres vinarii conspiciuntur. Secundi autem partem mediam Cerer spicas, ut vcidetur dextera tenens occupat, Tertium vero cervum exhibet currentem.
