The 6th century BC stone sarcophagus, with an accompanying circular altar, was discovered under the Forum in the heart of Italy’s capital over a century ago — but experts could not agree on whether or not it belonged to the fabled figure. The tomb was found in the 19th century and was known to specialists at the time but was forgotten until new digs within the past year. The Colosseum Archaeological Park, which manages the Forum where the sarcophagus lies, said recent clues all pointed to it being the founder’s tomb, in what it labelled an “extraordinary discovery”. https://news.yahoo.com/rome-unveil-tomb-may-belong-wolf-suckled-king-035218246.html Edited November 2, 2021 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
