ROME - Archaelogists revealed Friday, August 31, that they have found the bones of a Roman warrior from almost 5,000 years ago floating in a tomb filled with sea water on a beach near Rome. The beach is a public beach near Nettuno, about 40 miles south of Rome. Archaeologists speculate that there may be a necropolis here and plan to do further excavation.
The skeleton, dating from the 3rd millenium B.C., was discovered in May. The archaeologists studying the remains believe that the soldier was killed by an arrow, whose point was found among his ribs.
