The 1,600-Year-Old Skeleton Found Inside A Giant Roman Jar — And The Attack He May Have Been Hiding From
A fire in a Late Roman gate tower could be the result of a deliberate attack, an accident during a chaotic siege situation, or something else entirely.
The association of fire with attack in this period is well-documented, but the specific cause of the fire at Deultum is not established from the current evidence.
Why he chose the jar over other options.
The turret presumably had other spaces — corners, alcoves, perhaps sturdier structural elements.
Why a ceramic jar seemed like the best option for shelter is a question that no amount of archaeological analysis is likely to fully answer.
Whether he was alone or whether others were present whose remains have not yet been found.
