Skeletons of family hiding against earthquake

Skeletons found in a Roman house in Kourion, Cyprus, by David and Noelle Soren in the mid-1980s.

Skeletons belonged to a family killed in the earthquake that struck in 365 CE. The mother cradles an infant in her arms as the father tries to protect them both from the falling debris.
