90? Blimey, That's an excellent age.
Absolutely! Potentially the oldest known person from Roman Britain! :)
What was the average life span in that time? Even now 90 is a really good age!
Very hard to know with any degree of certainty, but certainly significantly lower than that!

Very nice, but I was a bit taken aback when I realized that it's not chocolate.
I know! It looks so edible! ;)
oh, come on - it *is* without doubt a bit of Easter egg
Hah, I wish... mmmm chocolate....! ;)
My brain keeps insisting that's chocolate.
It really does look very much like a piece of high-end easter egg!
