Dig unearths Roman tale of love


Recommended Posts

A Roman tale of love and romance that took place in Kent in about 200 AD has been unearthed during an excavation. Archaeologists working at the site in Canterbury uncovered the secret of the romance in a grave just as they were about to pack up their equipment.

 

The grave contained a woman's skull as well as the only complete marble plaque ever found in the area. The team said the plaque would have been put beside the woman by her husband as a gesture of eternal love.
