than 100 square feet and represents a
Roman Emperor seated on throne, be-
side which stands female figure. There
are also two figures of men, one OF them
leading lion and the other a wild boar.
A warrior with Roman helmet com
pletes the group. The work has escaped
injury, and the lines and colors are said
to be as fresh as though they dated
from yesterday. at is declared by
competent judges" says the St. James
Gazette, "to be the richest mosaic yet
discovered, no museum in Europe pos
sessing one to match it.
AS for its value they decline to name
definite sum, though they express the
opinion that it cannot be worth less
than ,OO9, 900 francs at the lowest. The
unfortunate owner of the house in which
this treasure has been discovered had
Just sold the property to the munici,
pality for less than $4,000. This body
will frame the mosaic and place it In
the museum of the town, already SC
rich in local relics of the Roman period. "
