Description
These Roman iron nails date to the 1st century AD, a period that aligns with the lifetime of Jesus and the height of Roman rule in Judea. Forged by hand from solid iron, nails of this type were widely used throughout the Roman world for construction, military applications, and documented execution practices, including crucifixion.
The form, size, and heavy iron composition are consistent with Roman-era nails uncovered across the Levant and surrounding regions. Over centuries underground, the iron has developed a natural patina, preserving the unmistakable marks of ancient craftsmanship. Today, these nails stand as a sobering and tangible connection to daily life—and death—under Roman authority during one of history’s most significant periods.
This artifact is ideal for serious collectors, educational displays, and those seeking a meaningful historical object from the crucifixion era.
