A Roman woman’s hair bun, dating from 300 AD to 399 AD, was discovered during the excavation of a Roman cemetery. The hair, styled in a bun and secured with two hairpins, belonged to a young Roman.
It was found in a stone coffin, lined with a lead sheet and filled with gypsum, a plaster-like material poured around the body. The remains in the coffin were identified as those of a girl, likely 15 or 16 years old, whose hair had not yet reached full growth at the time of her death.
