Archaeologists have uncovered a stone wall in a forest in southern Calabria, Italy, used by the Roman army during the conflict against Spartacus and his slave revolt in 71 BC.

This structure, part of a defensive system built by General Marcus Licinius Crassus, extends over 3 km in the Dossone della Melia forest.

Local environmentalists alerted researchers to its existence, leading to advanced radar and laser scans that revealed a moss-covered wall with a deep ditch alongside it.

Archaeologists also discovered broken iron weapons, indicating significant battles occurred at the site.

The wall’s construction methods align with typical Roman defenses, similar to those used by Julius Caesar, the Independent has reported.
