Romans In Denmark.

[Sakkura]

Actually the article says that these are the graves of the rich part of the population. It corresponds very nicely with other finds in Denmark and with the Roman practice to establish favourable relationships with tribal leaders through gifts and commerce.

It is not impossible that it actually is a Roman burial ground, it's just unlikely.

From the article:
"Henover fyrsten stod en gravhøj, som for længst er væk. Men fyrsten, som arkæologerne ikke ved, hvem var, lå to meter under jorden med alle sine skatte og er derfor uskadt.

Hans skelet og tænder er i god stand, og det giver arkæologerne håb om at kunne bestemme, om han er dansker eller indvandrer, og om der også skulle ligge familie i gravene rundt om ham."

Translation:

"Above the lord stood a burial mound which has long since gone. But the lord, who the archaeologists do not know who is, lay two meters below ground with all his treasure and is therefore intact.

His skeleton and teeth are in good condition, so the archaeologists hope to be able to determine whether he is a Dane or an immigrant, and whether his relatives are buried in the surrounding graves."

Too bad they haven't posted a follow-up story, because it says they should have gotten more info by thursday last week.
