Israeli archaeologists find ancient pool

Israeli archaeologists examining the site for new municipal ritual bath in Jerusalem's Old City found a nearly 2,000-year-old Roman swimming pool.

The discovery sheds a rare light on the classical era city the Romans built after destroying the second Jewish Temple in 70 AD and expelling the Jews from Jerusalem. Ofer Sion, who is directing the excavations, said Monday the site helps prove that the Roman city was larger than previously thought. (AP)
