These relics were the subject of a NatGeo hour long show.
They were found in a box below what would have been an altar in the ruins of an old church (400AD-500AD). Based on that location, some inscriptions found at the site and the carbon dating, there is reason to be comfortable with the theory.

Being placed below the altar at that time would have meant the reliquary was in a place of veneration. I hope it is true..

Thanks cardinal4. Regardless of the age of the bones, the identity of the deceased is indeterminable, short of finding a cache of undisturbed burials (bone boxes) containing the remains of members of his family, or maybe the rest of the man himself. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
