A necropolis with important late Roman tomb groups and an unusual 1st century A.D. tomb was uncovered at Bernate Ticino (MI) during work on the construction of the Turin-Milan High Capacity railway. This find constitutes a significant discovery as recently published and excavated late Roman tombs which provide sure data relating to tomb structure and tomb groups are quite rare, especially in the Milan area. The 1st century A.D. tomb is completely anomalous having a particular “a cassa” structure made of cobbles and a tomb group comprising glass, gold and amber. (Laura Simone Zopfi)
