Grosvenor Museum - Roman Gravestones

When the city walls were being re-built, many Roman gravestones were discovered, having been used as infill in the walls. In Roman times all burials had to be outside the city walls, and usually lined the main roads out of the city, so that passers by could pay their respects. The tombstones are now on display in the Grosvenor Museum
