An incredibly rare Roman mausoleum has been uncovered beneath a construction site in London. The discovery was made during excavation work for a new housing development in the city's Borough neighborhood.
The mausoleum is believed to date back to the 2nd century AD and is one of only a handful of such structures ever found in the UK. It is thought to have been built for a wealthy Roman family and would have been an elaborate and impressive structure in its time.
The discovery has been described as "extraordinary" by archaeologists, who have been working to carefully excavate the site and preserve the remains. The mausoleum features intricate carvings and decorations, including a statue of a man in a toga.
The find is also significant because it provides important insights into the lives of the Romans who lived in London more than 1,800 years ago. The mausoleum is believed to have been part of a larger settlement that existed in the area during the Roman period.
The developers behind the housing project have said that they will work with archaeologists to ensure that the mausoleum is protected and preserved for future generations. The discovery has already generated significant interest among historians and archaeology enthusiasts, who are eager to learn more about this fascinating piece of London's history.
