Discovery of Ancient Jewish Ritual Bath in Italy
Officials at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C., created an animated video showcasing the ancient site of the Megiddo Mosaic in Israel. A 1,600-year-old Jewish bath, or mikveh, was recently uncovered in Italy, making it the oldest of its kind in Europe. The site also revealed a lamp with Jewish symbols, indicating its use as a ritual bath. The discovery sheds light on the deep-rooted Jewish presence in Roman times.
