Under a football field in the Vienna neighborhood of Vienna, Archaeologists, the Roman Empire found a mass grave for the period during the fight against the German tribes almost 2000 years ago.
In October, the tomb was discovered by the construction company in Vienna in the Simmering district of Vienna, said that Archaeologists and Historians were announced in the Vienna Museum. An extraordinary discovery, “catastrophic” military event, perhaps the bad defeat of the Roman troops and called “disastrous” because he fled the site quickly.
Radiocarbon dating by about 80-234 to about 40-234, a period of more than 40-234, including Domitia and Travan, collided with ancient German people in the region. Other items found in the grave, including an iron dagger, lans, scale, and the cheek piece of a helmet, help confirm the time period.
Archaeologists have also discovered shoe nails from different Roman military shoes called Caligae, near the foot of a skeleton.
The discovery of such skins is very rare, experts, the ancient Romans in Dome have almost ruled almost the cream until the third century
“For all of the first century all over Europe, there are no burns, no failed human remains,” said Michaela Binder, a leading anthropologist on the project. “Thus, it is a unique chance to learn the history of people's life in the first century in the first century”
He added: “We have a unique opportunity to learn the lives of normal Roman soldiers.”
Archaeologist Martin Mosser for the Vienna Archaeological Department working in the project, the Romans granted the Roman and the cream of bodies began to explain that the people buried there.
“The long-term nature of the wounded wounds, which was buried in each person, followed by a long-term nature of the catastrophic militant, perhaps a hasty retreat,” he said.
At the end of the first century, there are historical accounts of battles between German tribes and the Romans, the end of the first century and the team called the first physical evidence of such battles in modern Vienna. The remains can represent the beginning of the history of the metropolis, the team said that a small military base, which is a few miles of defeat of a novel, he said.
“This will take VIENNA to the builder,” Mr. Mosser said that a concrete reason for the establishment of Vindobona, to the full-scale legionary castle, “Mr. Mosser, reference to the military base.
The evidence was amazed by the team. Mr. Mosser said that no Roman evidence was found in this area of the city, not in the face of these evidence. “We could not expect to be located in the Vienna region in the Rome battlefield,” he said.
The residues in the grave belonged to at least 129 people, archaeologists were found, but some bones could be interactive than 150.
All those examined so far were men between the ages of 20-30, and many were injured in many hurricanes with many skulls, torsos and pelvis.
Experts have not been executed from weapons, passing weapons, swords and iron bolts, and the dead were not executed in the battle.
The bodies turned out to be buried in a hurry, many were confused with their legs on his stomachs or their parties.
Most likely, most likely were professional Roman soldiers, according to David Potter, Greek and Roman history professor at Michigan University, who were not involved in the research.
“I think that we have another moment of Rome and the burial of the soldier's burial,” said, “he said,” said, “said the bodies of Roman soldiers were parallels for how the bodies used to be brave defeat In the hands of German warriors in the Teutoburg forest in the Teutoburg forest.
“You give a meaning to the nature of the battle from the injuries that these poor people continue,” the other side had many clubs. “
Only the study of team experts in Vienna began, and the DNA analysis can tell more about the origin and living conditions of the people buried in the grave. The museum report also created plans to look at the objects in the grave.
Mr. Mosser, a personal level, said that the case hit a chord. “So many young people were buried so much, and one inevitably thinks about the terrible wars of today,” he said.
