The unearthing of an ancient mass grave filled with Roman skeletons has left archeologists in modern Turkey grappling for answers after they uncovered the multiburial tomb dating back to the first and third centuries A.D.
The skeletons of 24 people including one child were uncovered during excavations in the ancient city of Parion, formerly a part of Rome’s vast eastern empire. The remains of the ancient urban center now lie in the Turkish administrative area of Biga, in the village of Kerner.
