4 Roman-era swords discovered after 1,900 years in Dead Sea cave: "Almost in mint condition" - Lemmy.world

Almost in mint condition

If this is representative of what Roman mints were producing, it’s no wonder they had currency issues.

Definitely a relative term here
The archeologist’s equivalent of an astrophysicist saying the Sun is gonna explode “soon.”
I bet it’s like a cast iron pan and those swords just need a little vinegar and a steel scrubbie and they would be ready to chop heathens
As a historian, I can say something over 1000 years old that is not fragmented or on the verge of being fragmented is very good condition. Not missing anything or any notable pieces too? Damn near mint
