Archaeologists were preparing for the construction of a new housing development when they found more than 100 equine skeletons dating to the second century C.E.

Archaeologists in Stuttgart, Germany, uncovered over 100 horse skeletons believed to have been part of a Roman cavalry unit.

Previous construction projects in the area had unearthed several horse skeletons believed to be part of an ancient Roman cemetery so archaeologists assumed they’d find at least something.
