The surprising thing about this discovery is that it dates back to the birth of Rome at least 300 years.

It has long been known that Bronze Age residents lived in this area when the ancient Romans built the city. But very few traces of this society are exposed to light.

Anna De Santis, who participated in the excavation, said the woman died when she was 30 years old. She may belong to a noble lineage by wearing an amber necklace with a gold face, a bronze hairpin and a copper ring on her finger. Archaeologists also found four bronze hooks used to fix the shroud.

According to custom, most ancestors of ancient Romans cremated the dead and contained ashes in a vase.

Roman experts were very interested in this new burial area, not too far from where Caesar's body was buried after the murder of 1,000 years later. This is also a milestone marking the change in social customs - from cremation to burial.
