When England was the most power nation on Earth, it would take the most beautiful art pieces and significant historical pieces of each conquered country back to England. Most of those pieces are now stored at the Royal British Museum. These mosaics were gathered from Italy at the end of WW II and were hanging at the bottom of a stairway in the museum. To give you a sense of scale, note the little girl in the lower right hand corner. More detail by clicking on the thumbnail. London, England; July, 1997.
