Roman soldier boot-nails sifted from Temple Mount

THE TEMPLE MOUNT SIFTING PROJECT BLOG: THE NAILS THAT ATTEST THE PRESENCE OF ROMAN LEGIONARY ON THE TEMPLE MOUNT.
While, in the Sifting Project, we have not found stones as described in this account, we do find many stones from the Temple Mount’s paving, some with scratches or grooves possibly from ancient times, as well as over a hundred shoe nails typologically dated to the Roman period. Some are likely from caligae sandal-boots, while others may be from civilian hobnailed shoes.
Which account? Read at the link.
