Rudston Roman villa, Roman villa archaeological site in East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
The villa contained rooms decorated with painted walls and featured mosaics depicting scenes of hunting activities and animal figures with Latin inscriptions.
First discovered in 1838 by a farm worker, the site revealed evidence of Iron Age settlements before the construction of the Roman villa in the third century.
The Venus and Charioteer mosaics found at the site demonstrate the northern Roman-British artistic style, connecting to similar designs in York and surrounding areas.
The original mosaics from the villa are now preserved at the Hull and East Riding Museum, protecting them from weather damage and deterioration.
The mosaic features a bull with the Latin inscription TAVRVS OMICIDA, meaning man-killing bull, and a lion labeled LEO FLAMITER, meaning flaming lion.
