(Worthy News) – Archaeologists in Israel have found a blood-red combat arena at Legio, a massive military base that housed Rome’s “ironclad” legion in the second century.
The team found the military camp and its arena — designed not for theater entertainment but for combat training — near Megiddo, also known as Armageddon, the place where the Christian Bible foretells the battle at the end of the world will commence.
The 1,800-year-old Roman camp lies beneath the agricultural fields of Kibbutz Megiddo in Jezreel Valley. Legio was rediscovered between 1998 and 2000 through preliminary archaeological surveying. Excavations revealing the perimeter of the military base and the “principia,” or headquarters, and its surrounding structures have taken place since 2010. [ Source: LiveScience (Read More…) ]
