Description: | Cinerary urn in form of mausoleum with separate sloped and ornamented roof, Contains fragments of cremated human bone, Inscription engraved on front panel
"Cinerary urn This urn from Praeneste in Italy still contains cremated bone. The abbreviated inscription can be expanded to read 'LVCIVS VALERIVS VARVS HIC SITUS EST', recording it as the resting-place of Lucius Valerius Varus. Funerary practice in the Roman world ranged from small domestic shrines like this to large mausoleums lining the roads into major towns."
