We’ve been selecting some *absolute gems* to display Society of Antiquaries of London for #WilliamMorris Day. Pop along to Burlington House on Friday 17 May to discover what we picked for this one-off celebration of Morris & his life and work. 10am-4pm. Free entry.

Here we see a Plate from Vetusta Monumenta which shows two works of art depicting the type of Roman gladiator known as a retiarius or net-fighter. Vetusta Monumenta (Ancient Monuments) is a series of 7 volumes of engravings, originally published by the Society between 1747-1906.
