R is for really really old ROLLERS, right outside Jerusalem on the road to Jericho.Like around 2,000 years old!
The sign at the Inn of the Good Samaritan explains them:
Rollers for compressing plaster on roofs and floors.
From the Hellenistic Period
Found at Mount Gerizim
(For ABC Wednesday R-day.)
.
Wow! They are really old!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment. Yes the coffee at the Danish Square was good wasn't it?!
Makes one wonder how much time, history they have compressed. Amazing find. Guess nowadays they would find themselves ahead of some bumpy floor.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Wednesday.
That's amazing that they are so old. Interesting choice for R day. Carver ABC-Wed. Team

These rounded rollers are really interesting. Must have been very different using these.
