Vetusta Monumenta

Roman mosaics from Wellow, near Bath, Somerset: double-page spread in volume 1, in an 1826 reprint

Vetusta Monumenta is the title of a published series of illustrated antiquarian papers on ancient buildings, sites and artefacts, mostly those of Britain, published at irregular intervals between 1718 and 1906 by the Society of Antiquaries of London. The folio-sized papers, usually written by members of the society, were first published individually, and then later in collected volumes.[1]
