The mosaic lies less than 3ft below modern street level and as we can clearly see on more than one occasion this timeless piece of Rome’s legacy has been smashed and removed to make way for power/telecommunications lines and water or sewerage conduits.

It makes one wonder if the workers some 20 or more years ago took a large section of pristine mosaic floor and became instantly rich on the black market. It makes you think just how often does this happen if the work is carried out at night to avoid traffic congestion leaving the workers free to remove sections as they see fit.
