Rare Roman funerary bed discovered in London
Archaeologists, conducting excavations in central London, have unearthed a burial site containing a Roman funeral bed made of wood.
The discovery was made by a team from the Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) near Holborn Viaduct, situated in the heart of central London, approximately six meters (20 feet) beneath the present-day street level.
While depictions of beds being used in Roman funerals are prevalent in art, the bed found at this site is a unique and significant find.
Preserved by the moist mud of the underground River Fleet, it represents the first complete example of its kind ever unearthed in Britain.
Crafted from high-quality oak, the bed boasts intricately carved feet and joints secured with small wooden pegs, CNN reported.
