Additional news: Two human skeletons were found in the burnt-down
house, along with the farm animals, with their heads close to the
wall as if trying to breathe fresh air, but not neing able to get
out. I assume the house was burnt down by someone who wanted them to
die in the flames.

That's the fate of subjugated peoples: first slavery, then physical
destruction, in this case 0 CE and 200 CE.
