Viggen Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Escitement over a Roman gravestone discovered in the centre of Lancaster has been dampened by the news that, although the artefact is barely out of the ground, Britain is likely to lose it to an overseas buyer. Archaeologists said yesterday that the gravestone, which depicts with great clarity a mounted trooper holding a sword and the head of a man he has just killed, was a unique find. full article at the Times Online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Holy Cow... I don't think I've heard something this good yet. I love reading inscriptions, they're a hobby of mines. It's fun to learn the lives of ancient people out of nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
