This is the only known instance in known Roman law in which it was a capital crime. Later it was due to robbery for selling body parts as relics in Christian world.

“Grave robbing was common then as now”
Most of the stealing goes on in the funeral parlor. Never put any items of value in a coffin with the deceased. They won’t be needing it and it only tempts the staff.
