Rare discovery in Vienna / 150 Roman soldiers found in mass grave under football
Mass grave discovered in Vienna with bodies of Roman soldiers

Archaeologists from the Vienna Museum in Austria reported that the remains of about 150 soldiers were discovered in a Roman mass grave.

Construction work to renovate a football pitch in the residential and industrial area of ​​Simmering uncovered the remains in October last year. After expert analysis, it was confirmed that the remains date back to the first century of the Roman Empire.

Construction crews renovating a football stadium first discovered the remains in October. Experts noted that the discovery is "extremely rare."

Specifically, it was confirmed that the remains of 129 people were found at the site, and further excavations led to the discovery of more bones, leading experts to believe that the number of bodies exceeds 150.

The Vienna Museum reported that the discovery of skeletal finds from this period is extremely rare due to the practice of cremation until the third century AD.

"While cremation burials were common in the European parts of the Roman Empire around 100 AD, burials of bodies were an absolute exception. Finds of Roman skeletons from this period are extremely rare," explained Christina Adler-Wölfl, head of the local Department of Archaeology.

The museum noted that those buried were between 20 and 30 years old and were men who appeared to have been killed in battle.

Regarding the causes of death, injuries caused by swords, spears, daggers and shells were found, leading the expert team to conclude that the deceased had participated in a military operation that resulted in mass killings.

"There are large battlefields in Germany where weapons have been found. But finding dead bodies, this is unique for all of Roman history," said the head of the archaeological excavations, Michaela Binder.

The Vienna Museum announced that further comprehensive studies will continue and that the research is still at an early stage.
