<DIV>Dear Group,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I enclose here an image of a recent find from Northamptonshire in England.
It looks to me as if it is part of an early Roman funerary couch or bed, as
discussed by J- C. Beal and Chiara Bianchi, amongst others. I wonder if anybody
would agree with this interpretation ! If so, it could well be the northernmost
example from the Roman Empire,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Any thoughts very welcome,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
