Skeleton Found In Roman Jar: archaeologists uncover 1,600-year-old victim; find hints of desperate escape

In a remarkable excavation at Deultum, Bulgaria, archaeologists uncovered the remains of a young man entombed within a sizable storage jar. The evidence indicates he sought refuge there during a devastating attack, likely after the flames had already engulfed the area. His plight, frozen in time as the jar was later rebuilt over, provides a poignant glimpse into the terror and desperation of ancient times.
