A Roman gravestone which was unearthed by builders in Lancashire is to go on display near the site where it lay for almost 2,000 years.
The real owner of the gravestone might be a little pissed that his magnificently carved grave piece is being moved around and claimed by someone who just happened to own the piece of land where he was buried.
Whereas the original owner of the gravestone did so on purpose and with intent, the current man who claims ownership does so by mere accident.
That said, if you're going to go through the trouble of giving yourself an elaborate burial, you might as well enscribe on your tombstone instructions for all those who may follow...
