Wednesday, January 15 at 10:00 pm
The discovery of a skeleton, dating to the Roman occupation of Britain, provokes further study after scientists see an iron nail driven through its heel bone.
Could the remains belong to someone the Romans crucified? Despite hundreds, if not thousands, of people being crucified in the Roman Empire, only one other crucified skeleton has ever been found in the world.
Who was this person? What was his life in Roman Britain like? And what could they have done to receive so harsh a punishment?
