The initials R.I.P. were at one time commonly seen on gravestones. They stand for the Latin phrase requiescat in pace [pronounced rek-wee-es-cat in pa-chay], which means "may he/she rest in peace".
This term was definitely not used in Roman times and is mainly seen on post-medieval headstones, so the language is not classical Latin but Ecclesiastical Latin.
Requiescat in pace, which translates (May [s]he) Rest In peace.
