Interesting Archaeology discoveries. <\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following discoveries were reported in Salon IFA the newsletter of the Society of Antiquaries of London in Salon: Issue 526  7 February 2024, which you can see here:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pliny the Elder’s Villa found near Vesuvius?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 1st Century seafront villa, with views of the Bay of Naples and of Mount Vesuvius, has been excavated at the town of Bacoli, which was the port of Misenum. Pliny commanded the fleet as \u2018Praefectus classis Misenensis<\/em>\u2019. Pliny tried to rescue his friends and family, ignoring warnings saying \u2018Fortune favours the brave\u2019, \u2018Audentes Fortuna luvat<\/em>\u2019. It didn’t and he died, at Stabiae, by toxic fumes. Read more about the villa here:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Face Reconstructed for a Victim of Roman Crucifixion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A male skeleton found, 4 years ago, in a Roman cemetery in Fenstaton in Cambridgeshire was found with a 2-inch nail through his heel bone. BBC 4 has made a documentary about the recent reconstruction of the man’s face by, as Salon reports it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘US forensic artist Joe Mullins, of George Mason University, Virginia. He usually works with law enforcement agencies, reconstructing the faces of modern-day crime victims. ‘ <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To follow the details, read more here<\/a>, or watch the BBC documentary, \u2018The Cambridgeshire Crucifixion\u2019, which can be viewed on BBC iPlayer<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
