Roman Dead Exhibition at the Museum of London Docklands

In Southwark last year, a Roman sarcophagus was found and is now being displayed alongside skeletons and cremated remains of the finds of other archaeological excavations. It features 28 Roman Londoners and over 200 burial objects, and the exhibition seeks to explore how Romans dealt with death.
