A woman who lived in the fourth century and was buried in a stone sarcophagus under a market in London was part of Rome's elite, researchers have said.
The woman's body was first discovered among rows of graves in March 1999 under London's Spitalfields Market.
While the researchers were aware she came from a lavish background, a new book is said to discuss new information about the extent of her wealth.
