Archaeologists have opened the lid on a rare, untouched Roman sarcophagus<\/a> in Hungary \u2014 the first time it’s been opened in 1,700 years.<\/p>\n

The tomb, discovered by archaeologists with the Budapest History Museum, was found in \u00d3buda, a northern district of Budapest.<\/p>\n

\u00d3buda was known as Aquincum in Roman times, serving as a major settlement located on the banks of the Danube River.<\/a> The tomb was found in a 3rd-century burial ground, among the ruins of abandoned houses.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, the tomb hadn’t been opened by looters since it was buried. Its stone lid was secured by molten lead and metal clamps.<\/p>\n

Lead archaeologist Gabriella F\u00e9nyes stressed the undisturbed nature of the findings in comments to The Associated Press.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The peculiarity of the finding is that it was a hermetically sealed sarcophagus,” she said. “It was not disturbed previously, so it was intact.”<\/p>\n

Inside was a complete skeleton and dozens of artifacts<\/a>, including two glass vessels, bronze figures and 140 coins.<\/p>\n

Excavators deduced that the grave belonged to a young woman when they found a hairpin made of bone, amber jewelry<\/a> and gold-threaded fabric.<\/p>\n

The items had been “given to the deceased by her relatives for her eternal journey,” F\u00e9nyes said.<\/p>\n

“The deceased was buried very carefully by her relatives,” she said. “They must have really loved who they buried here.”<\/p>\n

F\u00e9nyes added that she was “very touched by the care and expression of love<\/a> that we were able to get a glimpse of.”<\/p>\n

“Even now, I shudder to think how painful it must have been for the people at that time to bury this young lady,” she added.<\/p>\n

Though archaeologists discovered eight other graves nearby, they were struck by the well-preserved condition of the woman’s tomb.<\/p>\n

Gergely Kosty\u00e1l, a specialist in Ancient Rome<\/a> and co-leader of the project, said the tomb’s contents “definitely make it stand out.”<\/p>\n

“This probably means that the deceased was well-to-do or of a higher social status,” he told the AP.<\/p>\n

“It is truly rare to find a sarcophagus like this, untouched and never used before, because in the 4th century it was common to reuse earlier sarcophagi,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It is quite clear that this sarcophagus was made specifically for the deceased.”<\/p>\n

The grave also contained a thick layer of mud that may hold more treasures, F\u00e9nyes said.<\/p>\n

“I suspect we could find jewelry,” she said. “We haven’t found any earrings or other jewelry belonging to the woman, so I hope that these small items will turn up during the sifting of the mud.”<\/p>\n
