1.   Columns of men and women were making their way towards the central square.

2.   These North Hill examples are probably contemporary with another mosaic from North Hill which has L shapes around a central square.

3.   All three pavements appear to have had rosettes in the small squares which lie tangent to the central square.

4.   These appear to be a stylised cornice pattern, i.e. a partial or simplified representation of the pattern which encloses the central square in mosaic B.

5.   Instead, large rhomboids occupy two of the rectangles lying adjacent to the central square -- in a manner reminiscent of other mosaics from Colchester.

6.   A third rectangular panel has a strip of a pattern reminiscent of the cornice decoration which encloses the central square in mosaic B.

7.   Similar leaves, although with a thick stem and a finer tip, occupy at least two of the spandrels in mosaic C.

8.   However, one of the small squares lying tangent to the central square, at High Wycombe, contains an unidentified bust which is unparalleled at North Hill.

9.   The leaves and buds which comprise the floral scroll in the Cupids mosaic however, are more comparable to those of the central square of the latter.

10.   The bulky, four-strand guilloche is reminiscent of the guilloche which encloses the central square of the Lion and Stag pavement.
