HISTORIC FIND MADE BY ARCHAEOLGISTS

Roman mass grave split

(AP) – Archaeologists recently made a colossal discovery: They
found an ancient Roman mass grave, dating back to the first-
century A.D., underneath a soccer field in Vienna.

The necropolis was found by construction crews working in the
Vienna neighborhood
of Simmering last October. The discovery
was unknown to the world until the Vienna Museum announced
it on Apr. 2.

The 129 bodies, which were likely a mix of Roman soldiers and
Germanic tribesmen, were found in total.
Dislocated bones were
also found at the site, meaning that as many as 150 victims’
remains were found.
