Roman Gravestone 34

In the Grosvenor Museum there are the most impressive collection of Roman gravestones in Britain. Some are more complete than others, but all were buried for centuries, preserving them. The one below does not have an inscription, but shows Actaeon, a hunter who was changed to a stag and ripped to death by his own hounds. You can see him warding off the dogs, already part changed into a stag with horns sprouting from his head.
