Roman graves have 4 important soil layers


 


Roman graves are the most popular types of graves that appeal to researchers and treasure hunters because the graves of pagan Romans often contain treasures and valuable collectibles and in this article we will discuss the Roman graves in detail

How to identify Roman graves

Knowledge of Roman Graves is done through several things that we show you in the form of points to make it easier for you, my friend the researcher, to understand and assimilate

The site is a knoll or a slope away from the flow of water and the Knoll is stable or a place supervising the living place of the deceased, such as his city or Palace, the grave is within mass graves or combined in a cemetery representing the last stages of the Roman funerary grave since the end of the first century AD the components of the site are the most important components stones, Roman non-tax graves, their combined stones are not built

Either in the form of a stone, or neatly paved, or a huge rectangle, and you have to install in the way of paving, where the stone rotation is directly in the direction of the sunrise

The monument, which is either simple in the form of a column that does not rise more than 20 cm, or a painted, engraved and written tablet, and the most important thing in it is the three letters mds, which is a recognition of the authority of the Protecting gods in the form of her holy complex, and when you find that, know that you are still with the pagan Romans

And there must be a burial, unless the grave takes away its treasure before you, and in it the name of the deceased, his rank, his craft and his status, if he was lowly, you did not find praise

The latest monument burial date according to the Roman Imperial calendar

The direction, which is known in the outer Tomb, i.e. in the unflattering, closed rooms and places

The outer tomb, or what some call the Solar One, is inversely parallel with the Islamic tomb of the Roman Dead Firas, so that if the sun shines on him, he is surrounded by all of them and his legs are completely sunken, O God, if he is very angry with him, or represented by him, or ominous for his family and society, and they have

The Romans, like the Greeks, believe in a happy eternal life or hell and the multiplicity of Gods is evidence of their deep belief in their power over earthly and otherworldly life


Choosing a burial or grave

The choice is made based on the status of the deceased, his rank, and the connection of the buried place with the life of the deceased, so the place becomes sacred as soon as its owner is buried in it, and the Lord, not very high mountains, stone watchers, and under forts and castles are favorite places for ordinary Roman burial


Layers of the Roman tomb:

The Roman solar tomb is never deep, with a maximum burial of 2.20 m. except in a few cases, it was camouflaged or fortified

Or the dimensions of the burial suspicion, and therefore most of the Roman solar Graves do not exceed 1.50 m

It is a very tempting distance for theft and looting by Roman grave robbers and the following are from the ages, the truth is that most of the visible graves were looted in the Christian era from the third to the sixth century AD

The first outer layer in the Roman tomb

It is a phrase of paving stones, which are strong and sometimes carved, but they are stoned in an unbuilt way, and they are screwed into thick soil, and the direction of the grave towards the sun is known as the length and width, and the Roman grave is not hidden from the experts of the burial .


The second layer of the Roman tomb

It is a severe layer because it sometimes extends up to 70 cm and is mixed with medium stone with soft earth, which makes the Prospector very tired during the excavation of Roman graves


The third layer of the Roman tomb

It is a very illusory layer that may make many people think that they have made a mistake in the place of digging, because it is a very thick and cohesive soil, as if it were natural

The thick soil stage may be red or white, and the expert knows that it is a layer of layers of Roman graves with several hypothetical things, for example, the presence of pottery, which is very important and important .

When I found him in this thick soil, he bit on the grave with the windows

And so you have to focus very hard where you find coal, which is small but important, small gypsum pieces, some rounded stones and small gaps


The fourth layer in the Roman tomb

As soon as the third layer of Roman Graves is finished, the ground will be very fragile and white

You will find larger stones in it than the stones of the first layer, but they are smaller and larger, and it may require effort to remove them, and at this layer the sounds of the larger void begin to be heard

And so the skilled French researchers said if we find a broken jar, we are approaching a Roman treasure, dear brothers, we will adopt some of the archaeological work of French researchers, who are most interested in Roman solar graves

Important advice

Dear brothers, when opening a burial ground or a burial grotto, first of all it is necessary to ventilate and not to enter immediately and leave it for at least an hour to change the air

Another very important thing is to excavate the dirt in the cemetery by sifting all the existing dirt, because you will simply find very valuable things in this dirt, such as rings, coins, precious stones, small statues, bronze, etc ..
