1st Century Roman Nails
$35.00
A hoard of 1st Century Roman Nails was discovered during the 1960s. They are documented from the 1st century at the time of the Crucifixion. While most of the nails were retained by the museums after the discovery, a small portion was allowed to be sold privately. This hoard was buried to prevent others from finding them. Barbarian tribes would have melted them down to make weapons and shields. Iron was a valuable metal to many of the barbarian tribes. Hence, this hoard was a remarkable find from the 1960s. They finally allowed some to be sold only in 1999.
