Update | Archaeological evidence of a Roman military encampment—including a cooking pot possibly containing the remains of a Roman soldier—was discovered at Legio near Tel Megiddo in northern Israel, Haaretz reports.

The camp reportedly dates to the second and third centuries. Its existence, according to Haaretz, provides evidence for the assumption that Galilee was the site of a major Roman military presence nearly two millennia ago.
