Disturbance or damage to human remains, tombs and memorials carried substantial penalties – in some provinces it was a capital offence – but detection and punishment or compensation rather depended on whose remains, tombs, memorials were involved. Memorial stones have been found incorporated into houses, used to create monuments to completely unrelated persons, and reused in official buildings.In Puteoli, a fine of 20,000 sestercii was payable for damage to the tomb of a particular "decurion" (a local, junior magistrate). Some burial places list the family names of those entitled to be placed there; some also list particular persons not entitled to be there, presumably in consequence of some family squabble or severance. There is also evidence of severe near-contemporary encroachments, theft of stones and unrepaired damage to tombs, grave markers and epitaphs. Tombs could be lawfully moved, after exemption by the "pontifices", or decay along with the remains within. In Pompeii, a legible memorial stone was discovered face-down, reshaped to make seating for a public latrine
