In the last 10 years, so far eighty skeletons have been unearthed in Driffield Terrace. Said Kurt Hunter-Mann, the archaeologist leading the dig, “Our lead theory is that many of these skeletons are those of Roman
gladiators and others who died in the arena. So far, a number of pieces
of evidence point towards that interpretation or are consistent with
it.” [Independent]
