Summary

Pathe synopsis: Under the A27 at Fishbourne near Chichester they’ve found a Roman Palace where King Cogidubnus used to hold Roman orgies. All that remains are probably the most beautiful mosaic floors ever found outside Italy. There’s a special open air museum on the spot open to the public all the year round, a handsome tribute to the dilligent trowel work of the Sussex Archaeological Society.
