In West Sussex, England, an archaeological museum houses the remains of one of the largest Roman villas north of the Alps. Discovered in 1960, this complex reveals a history from military presence to a luxurious palace, which once served as the center of Roman power in the region.

History+

The earliest traces at Fishbourne date back to shortly after the Roman conquest of England in 43 AD, including wooden barracks likely belonging to a military camp. Two structures were identified, possibly including a granary built on a raised platform. Around 60 AD, civilian settlement began with the construction of a first stone building, featuring a courtyard and bathhouse.
