In July 2024 , a construction project in Stuttgart ’s Bad Cannstatt borough unearthed approximately 100 horse skeletons.

The animals dated to the second century CE and likely belonged to a Roman cavalry unit.

The dead horses were buried individually in shallow pits away from the ancient cavalry fort and civilian settlement.
