It is going on public display for the first time\, alongside the skeletons and cremated remains of 28 Roman Londoners found during archaeological excavations of ancient cemeteries. \nThe exhibition also features objects from burials in Roman London\, exploring how people dealt with death in Londinium. Objects on display include tombstones\, jewellery and cremation urns of varying shapes and sizes. The charred remains of food and vessels that may have contained drinks help to shed light on how Roman Londoners prepared their friends and family for their journey into the afterlife. \nThe exhibition runs from 25th May to 28th October 2018 \nFurther information \nMuseum of London Docklands \nPicture © Museum of London \n
