The team behind the Rutland mosaic, which has been described as one of the most significant mosaics discovered in the UK,
have revealed it depicts an alternative, long lost telling of the Trojan War. New research from the University of Leicester has conclusively determined why the famous Ketton mosaic in Rutland, one of the most remarkable Roman discoveries in Britain for a century, cannot depict scenes from Homer’s Iliad, as was initially believed. Instead it draws on an alternative version of the Trojan War story first popularised by the Greek playwriter, Aeschylus, that have since been lost to history.
