Quote:A 2nd century 007? Archaeologists discover barracks that may have been used by ancient Rome's secret service

Quote:Italian archaeologists have found the remains of a barracks that they believe may have been used by ancient Rome's equivalent of the secret service.

Or, more likely, a cohort of the Praetorian Guard.

This line got me, though.


Quote:The complex included cavalry barracks, which now lie beneath the Basilica of St John Lateran, one of the capital’s largest churches.


I mean come on, guys.  This is scientific investigation.  Knock the fucking church down and excavate the cavalry barracks.  If you've seen one church, you've seen them all!
