A CITIZEN OF ROME?
SKELETON BURIED A.D. 250 Mr. S. Li. Elborne, a London barrister, unearthed a skeleton from the side of the Roman Camp at Castor, near Peterborough, Northamptonshire. The bones were buried in three inches of sand a foot below the surface of the ground near the ford where the famous Ermine Street crosses the -River Nene. Part of the legs and the feet had been washed away, probably by the erosion of the bank. “The most stri':ing " ature of the skeleton, which was buried probably about A.D. 250,” Mr. Elborne said recently, “is the whiteness of the teeth.”
