Archaeologists Unearth Roman Horse Cemetery With 100 Skeletons

“Mankind is being carried behind a horse” and is a word loyal to the Roman Empire, which is expanding the power of the army, including the cavalry. An archeological discovery in Germany presents an unique idea for animals that helps to carry an ancient civilization.

In July 2024, a construction project in Stuttgart, bad Cannstatta found the skeleton of about 100 horses. The subsequent excavation, which was controlled by the State Administration for the protection of historical monuments, appeared to belong to the second-century CE and one Roman cavalry unit. The closure of a horse in careful burial, emphasizes close relationship between some drivers and horses, even 1800 years ago, people are as mourning the loss of animals today.

The evil Cannstatt was an important Roman military place in the first half of the first half of the second century. Local cavalines are most likely more than 700 animal-animal-animals, times during times, repeated burials. Archaeologists initially proposed the existence of a Roman horse cemetery in the 1920s, when the local housing project was discovered in the region. Last excavation, details a statement On Wednesday, Baden-Württemberg confirms this interpretation from the regional government.

“Based on the archeological and historical knowledge of the roma evil cannstatt, the horses are located in the cavalry unit – Sarah Roth, located in Hallschlag, which is about 100 to 150 to 150 to 150 to 150. Sarah Roth for the protection of the monument. Hallschlag is a neighborhood of evil cannstatt. “The gang of almost 500 records, a total of 700 horses, losses are likely to be changed regularly.”

Dead horses were buried individually in the shallow holes, which are behind the ancient cavalry castle and the civil settlement. Each place should be considered visually, because the holes rarely overlap, Roth explained.

“All of the horses do not seem to die at the same time during a big event like a war or epidemic,” he said. “On the contrary, the born animals were killed in the evil cannstatt in the evil cannstatt for the disease, injury or other reasons, or did not comply with the service until home cemetery, which was necessary to transport a serious carcass.”

The process was actually more “orders” than a proper burial. However, in a remarkable exception, archaeologists bashed two cups and a small oil lamp with a heavy oil lamp found in human graves. The inclusion of these facilities shows a tight shutdown between the horse and its owner.

“After 1800 years, the sadness of this animal is still clear,” Roth said. On the contrary, archeologists also discovered the remains of an adult man without any heavy goods – something obvious, the one who is not eligible for a dear time.

All Horse Cemetery is greater than the remnants of the deadline that is now completed. Again, researchers will detect more information about the use of horses, ages, dimensions, potential and deaths, potential diseases, and deaths of the future archeovers.

The finding also resonates the magnificent animal in a wonderful way with the historical connection of the city: Stuttgart, “Stuotgarten” Meaning “a garden for horses.”
