Roman Circus Mosaic

If you visit the site of the Roman Circus now look out for the Mosaic depicting a chariot race. Unveiled on 19th January 2008, it shows a chariot race in progress featuring eight quadrigae (four-horse chariots).

Over 1,500 children helped make the mosaic, designed by artist Peter Froste, and they used more than 200,000 tiles in the process.

Watch the unveiling ceremony and some of the work involved:
