One of the jewelry items is associated with the Roman moon goddess Luna. An amulet to ward off the evil eye, it accompanied girls through their lifetimes, and after their deaths would be buried with them to protect them in the afterlife, the research team said. The pieces were discovered over 50 years ago, in 1971, in a lead coffin at Mount Scopus, as part of an excavation by the late archaeologist Yael Adler. #jewelry #israel
