Légende

Roman Remains Discovered at Lymne, Kent, 1850. Archaeological dig at Lympne in Kent: 'An extensive hypocaust ran under the floor, which was supported by columns formed of layers of large tiles at regular intervals: the walls are constructed of stone and layers of tile, and the arches in them turned with tiles...The walls of the outer room seen to the left...show very distinctly, by the irregular line of tiles in it, the nature of the land-slip which destroyed the Roman town, and its effect on the walls. In excavating these houses, an abundance of broken pottery, glass, keys, fibulae, and many minor articles were found, as well as a considerable number of coins...It is to the untiring energy and perseverance of Mr. [Charles] Roach Smith that we owe these discoveries...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
