Archaeologists in western Slovakia have uncovered an ancient Roman military camp littered with soldiers' remains and battlefield weapons dating to the reign of Emperor Marcus Aurelius, a find officials say reshapes understanding of Rome's reach into barbarian territory. The Institute of Archaeology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences announced earlier this summer that excavators working near the town of Šurany, in Slovakia's Nitra region, had struck something far older than the industrial park they were preparing to build. Beneath roughly 370 acres of earth lay the footprint of a Roman marching camp from the second century A.D., the first ever found in that part of the country.

A historian's new book identifies a remote Iron Age hillfort in North Devon as the long-sought site of the Battle of Cynuit, where Anglo-Saxon forces routed a Viking invasion force and helped save the kingdom of Wessex. Castle Hill, a crumbling earthwork near the village of Beaford in North Devon, England, has stood quietly for centuries, ancient ramparts of earth and stone overlooking a rural landscape most people drive past without a second thought.
