A "unique"
Roman headstone is the first of its kind unearthed in the UK, experts believe.
"The tombstone was found
near skeletal remains thought to belong to the person named on its inscription,
making the discovery unique.
"
Interestingly…."You
can see horizontal marking-out lines, so I guess what they were going to do was
come back later when her husband died and add his name to the
inscription," Mr Holbrook added.
Finds like this really bring archaeology to life.....and reminds us that our 'finds' were people just like us!
