Officials said one burial, in particular, tomb 307, was an incredibly rare discovery. The tomb is a lead-constructed sarcophagus, with two bodies inside and two on top. Officials say a teenager between 14 and 16 years old and a several-month-old baby are inside. And after the tomb was buried another teen and baby were placed on top.
Glass jars of ointments, game tokens, a coin minted in the second century A.D., and some glass beads were also found in the first section of the double burial. Tokens for the same game, glass beads, glass marbles, and a second-century A.D. oil lamp were recovered from the second.
In addition to the “double urn” burial site, archaeologists said that even rarer was the discovery of a trousseau. A trousseau is the personal possessions of an ancient Roman bride usually including accessories and wares
Included in the trousseau were 15 glass ointment vials, two jugs, 25 tokens from the most popular game in Ancient Rome, a 2nd-century A.D. coin, and several glass beads.
