Scientists say seven skeletons found in a mass grave in Croatia were most likely Roman soldiers who lived 1 700 years ago.
The male skeletons, all with various injuries, were found “completely preserved” during excavations in 2011 at the site of the Roman city of Mursa - modern-day Osijek - in Croatia’s far east, a new research paper says.
