1,600-year-old Roman mosaic is SAVED by a museum Joe Pinkstone For Mailonline © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo A beautiful Roman mosaic depicting a leopard hunting an antelope is set to stay in the UK after a local museum scrambled together enough money to purchase it.  The 8ft by 6.5ft panel was unearthed in 1974 and is thought to have been made 1,700 years ago during the Roman occupation of Britain, experts believe.  It was one of three mosaic panels unearthed by archaeologists in the grounds of Dewlish House in Dorset. Two of them were donated to the Dorset County Museum but the third was kept by the owners of the estate before being auctioned in 2018 for £28,000. It was subsequently sold to a European collector.
