Roman Grave Stone of Father and Son, Grosvenor Museum, Chester

This stone commemorates a man and his son and shows them enjoying a banquet in the afterlife.

The deceased man was called Flavius Callimorphus and his son was called Serapion. They are reclining on a couch next to a three-legged table and a large wine amphora.

This stone was discovered in 1874 when a sewer was being laid along the western city wall not far from the museum. It was found with two skeletons, a gold ring and a coin of Domitian.
