Ornate lead coffin found in Britain reveals burial customs of wealthy Roman women
Archaeologists excavating the site of a former hospital in south-east England have unearthed a richly decorated lead coffin dating to the late Roman period, containing the remains of a woman who lived approximately 1,600 years ago. The find is considered one of the most spectacular Roman-era discoveries in Roman Britain. Researchers believe the woman was of high social standing, and the coffin is expected to provide valuable insights into Roman burial customs in the province of Britannia.
