Ancient Hebrew Temple Found Near Rome's Fiumicino Airport
Archaeologists blasting a road near Rome's Fiumicino Airport uncovered what is described as a third century Jewish synagogue. Pillars dated about 300 years after Christ's death, two 40 foot columns with candlestick bas-relief, ovens for unleavened bread, and a temple footprint about 100 by 45 feet mark the ruins near Ostia. This may be Europe's oldest known Jewish temple with Rome's ancient Israelite presence traced to 2,000 years ago.
