Roman coffin found in Bath containing two skeletons


Recommended Posts

Another great find:
 

Quote

"Having a human skeleton directly associated with a coffin is a rarity and to have this one associated with a probable votive offering and nearby human cremation, allows a very rare glimpse into funerary practices in the region almost two millennia ago."

“Inside the casket and lid made of Bath limestone was a skeleton laid in a prone position and a second skeleton laid at their feet.“
