Rock found in English garden turns out to be Roman relic worth $20,000
A woman in England recently discovered she's been using an ancient Roman relic as a stepping stone to mount her horse.
The owner of a bungalow in southern England stumbled upon the marble slab in her rock garden 20 years ago. She used it in her stable for almost 10 years before layers of dirt and moss finally washed away enough to reveal laurel wreaths and an inscription carved into its surface, according to UK auction house Woolley and Wallis, which plans to auction off the slab this spring for a presale estimate of £10,000-£15,000 (roughly $13,600 or AU$17,555 to $20,400 or AU$26,332).
