@the_london_spy: During the building of the iconic Gherkin, following the terrible IRA bomb of 1992, the remains of a young Roman girl were discovered exactly on this spot. She was between 13 and 17 years old, and after a short time in a mussum (as her own life ended over 1600 years ago) she was re-buried here with full owners, and this Latin inscription was put up. #thelondonspy #davidharry #romanempire #dismanibus #restinpeace #requiescat #RIP #GHERKIN #romanlondon #londontourguide #normanfoster

So what does RIP mean if it’s not really rest in peace?

Love this! Question- I believe “sepulta est” from 4th pp sepelio, so perfect passive “was buried”? It’s been a while, I could be wrong

I actually love that they honoured her like that. Is the laurel wreath connected to Roman burial?

Do you not think changing AD to CE was the most pointless change ever? The birth of christ is still your starting point. Just go with it.

AD is correct, it is a Gregorian calendar, don’t change it to CE, that is an insult to Pope Gregory XIII.

Why is it dedicated to the spirits (plural),as opposed to the spirit,of the dead girl?
