Learn about antiques every day
Recently, Israel's archaeological department discovered two shipwrecks 1,000 years apart in the same location off the ancient port of Caesarea, excavating a large number of ancient coins and objects from them, which is very rare.
The first shipwreck occurred during the Roman period in the third century AD, and the second occurred during the Mamluk period in 1300 AD.
This delicate emerald-encrusted octagonal gold ring was found in the first shipwreck, and among the gems is a statue of the "Good Shepherd," a symbol of Jesus in early Christianity, when the Roman Empire was very tolerant of new forms of denomination, including the worship of Jesus, and experts say the ring may have belonged to a wealthy citizen.
Another shipwreck also found a number of Mamluk-era silver coins.
When cleaning up these coins, the size and age of the coins can be clearly identified.
