It would be interesting if population geneticists extracted DNA from the remains and figured out the genetics.

So many discoveries these weeks between Rome and Pompeii. I wonder how many things still have to be found.

I think there is still a lot to discover.
Some days ago a 5 year old kid while playing in the garden discovered the burial of a 5000-year-old warrior,in province of Pisa.

Weren't the Romans known for building massive networks of Catacombs all across Rome? I wouldn't doubt it if they find more artifacts, especially in the catacombs. Some of them are filled with hundreds of skeletal remainings from the 2nd century.

Rome is still full of things that have to be discovered. Same for Pompeii. They (Pompeii and Rome) are two open air museums.
