ROMAN BURIALS. 



The Romans buried the body, or burned it and deposited the 

 ashes. In neither case was it customary to raise a tumulus over 

 the dead. In many instances the body was enclosed in cloth 

 and placed in a squared stone coffin, made of the gritstone of 

 Brimham, probably brought to Eburacum by way of Isurium, 

 or of the magnesian limestone brought from Calcaria. It was 

 covered by a flat or somewhat coped stone. On one side of the 

 coffin was the inscription recording the name and age and other 

 particulars relating to the deceased, and the name of his relation 

 or friend who dedicated the memorial. In other cases a sheet 

 of lead was cut and folded, or folded without cutting, to form a 

 rectangular chest, over which was placed a leaden cover. There 

 is a rare example in the Yorkshire Museum of burial in a wooden 

 coffin, which was enclosed in a tomb built of ten huge blocks of 

 gritstone.
