It’s an interesting burial and the Romans definitely had some interesting rituals and magic. But I feel the idea of it being a vampire is projecting modern stuff on an archeological site.

Bro you know when Dracula was published right? That wasn't even close to the first thought anyone had about vampires

What’s amused me before is that Latin has been a dead language for probably more than 1,000 years, and it has a word that directly translates to “vampire.”
The “urban legends” of them have been around for a long time, even if our modern interpretation of them—suave, sophisticated aristocrats and the like—is different

It's all still more modern than Romans buddy.
