They found *what* in a Roman grave, hey?

Okay, so picture this: archaeologists digging around in Rome, right? They’re in this old necropolis, finding all sorts of ancient Roman things. But then they pull out these three skeletons, and each one? It’s got a bunch of iron nails on its chest. Like, not just a couple, but enough that they think it was on purpose, hey. The experts are saying it’s probably some kind of ritual to keep restless spirits from causing trouble for the living. Can you even imagine? We deal with the ghosts of Osborne Village and the Exchange District sometimes, but we usually just tell 'em to move along, hey. No nails needed.

Honestly, it makes you wonder what kind of superstitions people had back then. We’ve got our own ways of dealing with things here in Winterpeg—like putting a good luck charm in your pocket before a Jets game, or having a smudge to clear the bad vibes. But actual nails to keep someone's spirit down? That's next level. We built a city in the coldest place anyone has any business building a city — and it is genuinely wonderful. Good morning.
