Drink plenty of water

Today I learned about this elaborate eulogy carved into stone of a 1st c Roman husband for his wife (identity uncertain, traditionally referred to as 'Turia')

Tomorrow morning on BBC Radio 4 at 9.00 on (Tuesday)...the first of our new series of 'Being Roman' (and on BBC Sounds). 👇👇👇
