Israel opens tombs from Ancient Rome to the public for the first time: 'wonderful paintings'

Tombs dating back to the ancient Roman era have been opened to the public for the first time after a meticulous restoration process, according to an announcement from the Israel Antiquities Authority.

The two tombs, estimated to be nearly 2,000 years old, were originally discovered by British archaeologists in the 1930s.
 
For nearly 100 years, the tombs were closed to the public to protect the paintings depicting vines, Roman deities, and mythological creatures.
