Ancient Tablet with Menorah Found in Caesarea
(Times of Israel) Ilan Ben Zion - A mother-of-pearl tablet inscribed with a six-branched menorah dating from the fourth or fifth centuries CE, which was likely part of a box housing a Torah scroll, was recently found at the ancient Roman city of Caesarea, the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Wednesday. Archaeologist Peter Gendelman said the find "points to clear Jewish presence at Caesarea during this period."
