The child’s grave was discovered in the course of an archaeological survey in advance of construction. The grave has probably been built over by now. Archaeologists don’t usually rebury artifacts, although they do rebury human remains.

What has been done with the child’s grave? Shouldn’t this cockerel be restored to it?

Was “Childhood in Ancient Rome” already the topic before the cockerel was discovered in a young child’s grave? If so, that is a remarkable coincidence!

It’s beautiful. Is there word of it touring at all? I’d like to see it in person, here in the states.

A chicken as psychopomp sounds intriguing.
