Mysterious Winged Structure from Ancient Rome Discovered Mysterious Winged Structure from Ancient Rome Discovered Mysterious Winged Structure from Ancient Rome Discovered
The Y-shaped Roman structure, discovered in eastern England in the Norfolk area, can be seen in this aerial shot. Nothing like it has been discovered before from the Roman Empire. Sometime later another Roman structure (whose postholes can be seen) was built on top of it. [CREDIT: Michael Page] This diagram shows the Y-shaped Roman building, which dates back around 1,800 years. Sometime later another Roman structure, whose postholes remain, was built on top of it.

Wait a minute. Wasn’t there a discovery that was posted in the last year about an unusual layout of a Roman villa near Ostia (or somewhere on the coast south of Rome) that might have belonged to Marius?
