Excavations at a former IDF base have uncovered ancient Roman ruins, according to the Israel Antiquities Authority:
[A]ssorted finds from Jerusalem’s past were discovered in the archaeological excavation, most notably a large and impressive winery dating to the Roman or Byzantine period, some 1,600 years ago. The complex installation includes a pressing surface paved with a white mosaic. In the center of it is a pit in which a press screw was anchored that aided in extracting the maximum amount of must from the grapes. . . . The archaeologists believe that this winery served the residents of a large manor house whose inhabitants made their living by, among other things, viticulture and wine production. . . . As was customary in the Roman world, here too . . . a private bathhouse was incorporated in the plan of the estate.
