The Israel Antiquities Authority said a young man found an 1,800-year-old ring in the north of the country. This sends a message TASS.

The discovery was made by 13-year-old Yair Whiteson while walking with his father near Mount Carmel, near the ruins of an ancient quarry.

“While walking I noticed a small green object and picked it up. It was covered in rust and at first I thought it was just a rusty nut. I thought of heating it but then I luckily realized it was a ring,” said the boy.

Whiteson soon discovered that the ring had an image on it. After the ring was handed over to professional archaeologists, they concluded that it depicted the nude Roman goddess Minerva, borrowed from the Greek goddess of wisdom Athena. The ring, which likely belonged to a girl or woman and was cast in bronze in the 2nd or 3rd century AD, will be displayed on the Israel Antiquities Authority campus in Jerusalem.
