If you go to the Romano-German Museum in Cologne, it is on the site of a Roman townhouse. It was discovered during WW2, when they were digging a new air raid shelter near the cathedral. One of the rooms has a mosaic floor covered in individual (as opposed to a pattern of) swastikas - I bet that suprised the diggers!

I've got swastikas on my new tunic - I need all the luck I can get! Smile
