Abstract
Description
Although identification of this photo is not 100% certain, this photo was taken of an area next to two signs describing dicovery of several clay shards. The shards were perhaps used by the zealots to determine the order of suicide just before the Romans breached the walls of the fortress during the Jewish-Roman War (1st Century CE).
