Israeli Archaeologists Hail ‘Sensational Find’ of 4 Roman Swords Preserved for Nearly 2,000 Years

JERUSALEM, Israel – Archaeologists in Israel have found a weapons cache from almost two thousand years ago, about 50 years after the Second Jewish Temple was destroyed.

Scientists have labeled it a "sensational find": the discovery of four 1,900-year-old swords, along with a pilum – a roman javelin – in an Ein Gedi cave overlooking the Dead Sea.

Dr. Eitan Klein of Israel Antiquities Authority Theft Prevention Unit, told CBN News why the find is so sensational. "They are very preserved – extremely, beautifully," he said, "So we research all the assemblage of weaponry. And for now in this particular time of research, we assume probably that they were connected to some war, or a rebellion that took place in the land of Israel during the second century CE (Common Era.)"
