An "exceptional" tomb dubbed The
Athlete's Tomb, found in exactly the same condition it was left
2,000 years ago, has been discovered outside Rome in the Case
Rossse area during an aqueduct extension excavation, sources
said Friday. Rome archaeologists also called it the tomb of the
strigils, the instruments used for cleaning olive oil off sweaty
bodies. Four bodies were found in the tomb with their ceremonial
burial accoutrements, archaeologists said.
