Replica Painted Tombstone from Roman Corbridge, Newcastle upon Tyne, 2.8.18.This is a replica painted tombstone of a 25 year old standard bearer called Flavinus who served seven years with a cavalry unit called the Ala Petriana.The motif of Romans hunting down naked barbarians was commonly used on tombstones but unusually in this case, the Roman has his foot upon his posterior and the barbarian is in a fleeing position with his back to the Roman; an act of explicit cowardice to all Romans. -- source link
