Israeli archaeologists have discovered four Roman-era Swords, along with their wooden hilts and scabbards, in a desert cave near the Dead Sea. The artifacts, which are almost in mint condition after 1,900 years, were found in a near-inaccessible crevice during an excavation. Researchers believe the swords and a javelin head were hidden by Jewish rebels during an uprising against the Roman Empire in the 130s. The find is part of the Israel Antiquities Authority's Judean Desert Survey, which aims to secure precious artifacts before looters can find them. The discovery sheds light on the history of the Roman Empire and the rebellion.
