Archaeologists have discovered that the huge Roman mosaics discovered near the Shard last year, were actually part of a Roman tomb.

This rare piece of history was discovered just a stone’s throw from Borough Market and London Bridge station, said the Museum of London Archeology (MOLA).

The remains of the structure at the Liberty of Southwark site have an ‘astonishing level of preservation’, making it the most intact Roman mausoleum ever to be discovered in Britain, according to MOLA.

Sorry for the off-topic chat but am I doing this all OK? It's hard to know how involved I need to be when starting a new community. I'm typically more of a lurker so I'm slightly paranoid that I may be doing too much in getting this community off the ground.

Well I'm lurking on your efforts and seems fine from the porcelain throne. If that helps at all. I'll praise anyone making an effort to grow a community on here. Good luck!
