Archeologists have recently uncovered a massive tomb system in which a variety of Roman classes were buried. This tomb mimics that of a real Roman city, in which they believe real people lived in during the Dark Ages. They believe that some of the people buried there were slaves of Greek origin and even a Roman general who commanded legions in the second century. This burial tomb may even contain the tunnel in which Caligula was killed by his guards. http://www.latimes.com/business/careers/work/la-fg-italy17-2008oct17,0,1756926.story

Yes, this is a very fascinating story. You might bring this up in class and we can look at the pictures the archaeologists published.
