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.

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. What came out of the ground told a story of combat and sudden…Open
