At seven meters under our feet, 54 00:06:11,579 --> 00:06:17,420 archaeologists have found five Roman burials, each grave contained up to four people. The slabs were 55 00:06:17,420 --> 00:06:21,980 perfectly conserved and it was still possible to read names and sentences carved in the stone. 56 00:06:23,420 --> 00:06:29,660 This wasn't the first time though, thanks to the recent discoveries on the excavation's occasion. 57 00:06:29,660 --> 00:06:34,699 For the construction of an underground garage, the archaeologists unearthed further 58 00:06:34,699 --> 00:06:40,860 remains of the Roman age. Some monumental slabs dating back to the Roman times emerged from a 59 00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:46,779 gravel deposit placed at the bottom of a trench in a disconnected way from a good point of view. 60 00:06:47,899 --> 00:06:53,259 The investigation made it possible to recognize under a powerful sequence of fluids 61 00:06:53,259 --> 00:06:58,620 a cemetery area dating back to the 4th century AD.
