Instead of awarding the prize to a wonky litter bin, take a look at this guys work.  It's a 71ft high x 321ft long panorama of Rome in the 4th century. LINK |

Does nothing for me. Not saying a wonky litter bin does, mind. But that photo looks like the sort of thing you'd get in a glossy classical studies text book. Not that we every had glossy classical studies text books. We had crappy ones with rubbish little stories about a Roman family.
Ecce! In pictura est puella, nomine cornelia. Cornelia est puella Romana quae in Italia habitate.

Probably plebs. If my memory serves me right, you had to be posh to wear a toga.

Is the Windrush scandal that time a bunch of Jamaicans turned up on a ship and never went home?
