Rounded rollers

.
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.)

  2. Makes one wonder how much time, history they have compressed. Amazing find. Guess nowadays they would find themselves ahead of some bumpy floor.

    Please have a good Wednesday.
