The stones date back to the 3rd Century and were discovered at a site in Wensleydale in 1960.
One of the longest ancient inscriptions ever discovered in Britain is to go on display for the first time.
They were found in 1960 but have been in storage ever since as one weighs 600lbs and had to be kept in a basement at the University of Leeds.Dr Samuel Gartland, a lecturer in the School of Languages, Cultures and Societies, said a crane had to be brought in to move them to their new location. "Appropriately enough for our launch during Black History month, the stones tell of a period where Yorkshire came under the rule of the first African emperors of Rome, as well as the dynastic jostling and assassinations in the imperial family."
