Scientists find ancient graveyard in Denmark

Experts believe the Roman cemetery dates back to about A.D. 300

Updated: 8:03 p.m. ET Oct 10, 2007

COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Archaeologists have discovered a Roman cemetery from about A.D. 300 in suburban Copenhagen with about 30 graves, a newspaper reported Wednesday.

"It is something special and rare in Denmark to have so many (ancient Roman) graves in one place," archaeologist Rune Iversen was quoted as saying by the Roskilde Dagblad newspaper.

The graveyard's exact location in Ishoej, southwest of downtown Copenhagen, was being kept secret until the archaeologists from the nearby Kroppedal Museum have completed their work, the newspaper wrote. No one at the museum could be immediately be reached for comment.

Archaeologists found necklaces and other personal belongings, as well as ceramics for containing food.

"It shows that we're dealing with the wealthy segment of that population," Iversen was quoted as saying. The objects were buried with the deceased "to show that one could afford it, show one's social status."

Excavations are due to be completed in early November, according to Roskilde Dagblad.

I didn't know the Roman Empire extended as far as Denmark.

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

About the only part of Europe they didn't take was Scotland. Gotta hand it to the Scots -- they were too much for the Romans to handle.

You're forgetting Ireland, I think.

Not up on Romans on Ireland, but you're probably right. But the Scots were notable in that they were so bad the Romans built a wall to keep them away. I don't know of anyone else that earned such a compliment from the Romans.
