The National Archeological Museum of Civitavecchia officially reopened to the public on Thursday after a major renovation and redesign, and the repatriated funerary inscription of Roman navy soldier Sextus Congenius Verus is one of the featured artifacts. The information plaque credits Tulane University anthropologist Daniella Santoro and her husband Aaron Lorenz for the rediscovery of the slab in the backyard of their New Orleans home and its return to Italy. thehistoryblog.com
