Viggen Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a Roman theatre in the small German town of Kuenzing, suggesting that soldiers at the front were entertained by gladiators and animal fights. Known as Quintanis in Roman times, the town was on the Danube frontier of the Roman empire and garrisoned by 500 mercenaries. The archaeologists were astonished to discover an oval area of post holes and realised they were looking at the remains of wooden grandstands round an arena. full article at IOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pertinax Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 (edited) I just wonder what tiny percentage of historical remains we are aware of ? What huge finds remain undiscovered and will prove to be radical in our perception of the "ancient" world( getting a bit downhearted there).
