The majority of the skeletons from the first and third century AD, found in the suburbs of the ancient city, had broken collar bones, noses and hand bones.

Fighting was very common.

Indeed it was.

I’ve studied a bit of Roman architecture. It’s interesting that many of the blocks of houses or apartments would have just a few entrances from the streets.

Most of their exposure was towards a central meeting area, of sorts.

This was due I guess to the ruffians roaming around...
