Backs to the 4th century by Yehuda

This huge stone roof beam was recently excavated from the ruins of Eliopolis (where Kibbutz Beit Guvrin - Israel - is today), and dates back to the 4th century AD. The script is in Greek and says: "In the time of Flavius Kyntianos, the most illustrious comes and dux, this hostel was built from its foundations".
