Archaeologists discover the remains of Roman and criminal warriors under the football field

Archaeologists recently discovered an ancient Roman mass grave, dating back to the first century, under a football field in Vienna.

Necropolis was found by construction crews operating in the Vienna neighborhood of boiling last October. The discovery was unknown to the world until the Vienna Museum was announced on April 2.

129 bodies, which are likely to be a mixture of Romanian soldiers and Germanic tribes, were found in total. The mixed bones were also found on the site, which means that up to 150 victim remains were found, Associated Press said.

They said that the soldiers are usually burned until the third century.

The carbon dating archaeologists used 14 to determine the age of the bones while consulting the artifacts, which included the protectors of the cheek and the helian.
