- Description
- Tombstone of Bodicacia from excavations at the site of the former Bridge's Garage. I DM BODICACIA CONIVNX VIXIT ANNOS XXVII, D(is) M(anibus) Bodicacia coniunx vixit annos XXVII. 'To the Shades of the Dead. Bodicacia, spouse, lived 27 years.' There is a face of some unknown river or ocean god at the top that was damaged at some point in ancient times, perhaps showing early Christian iconoclasm. While originally a grave marker, it was later reused as a grave cover.
