News stories are reporting that Israeli rabbis are seeing permission to look through Vatican vaults for the menorah from the Arch of Titus, among other things. They seem to think there is a chance it's there. I've always heard that the Vatican has many documents and artifacts that they don't know about and are continually discovering, but this would be pretty fantastic.<br>
Would it be possible that something like this could have been preserved from the Goths and Vandals? If that were possible, you only wonder what else is stuffed away.<br>
In the sequence of time Rome was Christianized before the varioius sacks; could a Christian emperor (and were the first ones still Pontifex Maximus?) have put things away before the Goths etc got there? <p>Legio XX<br>
