Throughout the Roman Empire, wealthy politicians and merchants could be found in every single Roman province. One of the most famous examples of this opulent lifestyle is Fishbourne Roman Palace & Gardens in West Sussex, near the Roman town of Noviomagus Reginorum (modern-day Chichester).

This expansive villa is the biggest Roman residence ever found in the United Kingdom, with an estimated footprint of 500,000 sq ft – larger than Buckingham Palace.
