Re: Roman sarcophagus found in a Dorset back garden
Very interesting. How amazing to think something as important as that is left unattended in a garden
"Where are you taking that cow"??
"To the bull"
"Can`t your father do that"??
"No it has to be the bull"!!!!!

Another amzing piece of our history going under the hammer, what a shame. Let's hope a museum manages to buy it.

Not only beautiful, but, it will clean up almost perfectly in the right hands.
I used to have an issue regarding having an inferiority complex, I no longer have an issue with being inferior.
