ROMAN BONES FOUND
i.
Graveyard of Twentieth Legion
Exhumed at Chester, Eng.
Bronzo Coins of the Emperors An-
tonlus, Plur and Commodus
Are Found With the
Remains.
London. Tho extension of the In
firmary at Chester has led to the dis
covery of tho graveyard used by the
twentieth legion of the Romans during
their occupation of that city.
Tho Chester infirmary occupies a
site which Is" locally referred to aB
tho "plague field." Tho slto seems to
have acquired Its unsavory name from
the fact that casual discoveries of hu
man remains had led to the supposi
tion that they were the victims of
tho great plague.
Tho recent unearthing of remains in
larger numbers on the Bite of tho ex
tension of the Infirmary led to an In
vestigation by Prof. Itobert Newstead,
who now reports that the evidence
proves conclusively that tho Infirmary
field was not u&ud us a burying ground
during the outbreak of tho plague, and
thnt all tho burlalB which havo been
bo far unearthed belong to tho Ho
man period.
Four distinct types of graves havo
been uncovered. One Is a tomb formed
of local Biindstono, evidently repre
senting a burial of somo Importance,
as the walls of the tomb aro covered
in plaster, and tho dome of tho struc
ture originally stood out In marked
coutrabt to tho surrounding surface of
itho land, forming a dUtinct tumulus.
Some of the graves were formed by
placing Roman roofing tilos bearing
tho stamp of tho twentieth legion upon
tho floor and also at tho aides, th
legionary Btamps always facing in
ward. Anothor typo of burial was formed
by placing rough hown sandstone so
that a V-shapod trough was formed
for the reception of tho body, A
fourth typo of grave consists of a sim
ple trench, dug In tho solid clay at a
depth of not more than two feet from
tho original land surface
Tho Roman origin of tho groves is
borne out by the fact that bronze
coins of the Emperors Antonlus, Pius
and Commodus havo been found In
thom. Such coins were placod usual
ly in tho mouth of tho doceased, and
are generally referred to as "Charon's
paBBago fare," to expedite the passage
of tho soul across tho Styx, as It was
believed that the person who had not
