"A 1900-year-old gravestone for a Roman sailor recently was discovered in the backyard of a house in New Orleans. Rather than being tantalizing evidence of an ancient Roman naval expedition the gravestone is now known to have been in the collection of an Italian museum until the 1940s. The artifact disappeared after the museum was heavily damaged during WWII. It likely was taken by a serviceman who brought it back to the U.S. to be used as a garden decoration"
