Eight Fragments from a Mosaic PavementWhile on the Grand Tour, Lord Charles Kinnaird and Lord George William Russell inspected in 1823 the remains of a large mosaic that had recently been discovered in a vineyard on Monte Rosario, outside Romeís Porta Portuensis gate.

All eight pieces were designed to fit into a meander-pattern border that encircled the now-missing centr
