14 DAY TRIAL // Workers digging under London's Liverpool Street have recently stumbled upon 20 skulls. Specialists who have had the chance to examine these remains say that they date back to the Roman era.
Specifically, they believe that they belong to people who were decapitated back in the 1st century AD. Odds are these individuals tried to rebel against the Roman rule, and things did not exactly work out in their favor.
This theory is backed up by the fact that the skulls were discovered in sediments laid by the historic River Walbrook.
“This isn't the first time skulls have been found in the bed of the River Walbrook and many early historians suggested these people were killed during the Boudicca rebellion against the Romans,” lead archaeologist Jay Carver said, as cited by Daily Mail.
“The skulls are possibly from a known Roman burial ground about 50 metres up river from our Liverpool Street station work site,” he further detailed.
Apparently, several bits and pieces of Roman pottery have been discovered together with these skulls.
