1st-4th century A.D. The section comprising square and rectangular tesserae set into Roman cement; held in a wooden frame with identification plaque. 4.1 kg, 33.3 cm wide (13 1/4 in.). From a 19th century collection based on the bone plaque and frame. From an old collection of antiquities built up by a family in Newark, Nottinghamshire, UK. This floor section was originally found presumably near the the site of Ad Pontem, a large walled Roman town on the outskirts of Newark.
