Update

Remains found in a Roman fort in the Netherlands were reexamined. The man was likely a Roman soldier, over six feet tall and muscular. His tooth enamel suggests he grew up in southern Europe. Possible causes of death include being killed by locals or Roman officials.

Limitations

The study is based on a reexamination of remains and artifacts found in 1977. Multiple possible causes of death are proposed, but further research is needed to determine the truth.
