Roman long swords were only 24” long?

Archaeologists believe the swords were hidden by Judean rebels after they were seized from the Roman army as booty...
There were JEWS in Palestine 2000 years ago? They had a Temple that was destroyed by the Romans? It was on that piece of land called the "Temple Mount"? You mean, it wasn't ALWAYS muslim land?
Who knew?
I suppose I should include this: /s

Was there a sign on the cave that said “Bob’s discount swords and daggers”?
Cool find though.

Looks like an assault sword!!

Possibly the sort of sword used by some auxiliaries (auxilia) or Cavalry. These don’t look like the known gladius examples.

I wish they had more pictures of the archaeologists. I specifically went to the site to see the archaeologists.
