Archaeologists in the Romanian city of Constanta have discovered a 2,000-year-old Roman-era trove of graves, including a rare piece of a rare parade or ceremonial shield. The discovery was made during a routine survey for a hospital construction project in the city. The team uncovered 34 graves, some of which had multiple burials inside.
