JNS.org<\/strong> <\/em>\u2013 Amid this week\u2019s celebrations making the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem\u2019s reunification, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority unveiled evidence of the battle of Jerusalem that took place before the destruction of the Second Temple 2,000 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

Arrowheads and stone ballista balls fired by catapults were uncovered on the main road that ascended from the city\u2019s gates and the Pool of Siloam to the Jewish Temple, the IAA said Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The artifacts, excavated with the financial support of the City of David Society, tell the story of the final battle between the Roman army and Jewish rebels that ended with the destruction of the Second Temple and the rest of ancient Jerusalem, events that are famously described by historian Flavius Josephus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cJosephus\u2019s descriptions of the battle in the lower city come face-to-face for the first time with evidence that was revealed in the field in a clear and chilling manner,\u201d said Nahshon Szanton and Moran Hagbi, directors of the IAA excavation, in a joint statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStone ballista balls fired by catapults, used to bombard Jerusalem during the Roman siege of the city, were discovered in the excavations. Arrowheads, used by the Jewish rebels in the hard-fought battles against the Roman legionnaires, were found exactly as described by Josephus,\u201d the directors added.<\/span><\/p>\n
