One of the earliest known depictions of Jesus Christ as the Good Shepherd has been found on a ring retrieved from shallow waters in the Mediterranean sea.
The piece was among a haul of hundreds of artefacts discovered during recent months in an area rich with archaeological treasures.
Israeli archaeologists believe the haul is from two ships that were wrecked by a storm in what was known at the time as Caesarea.
They found hundreds of silver and bronze Roman coins, as well as figurines, pottery vessels and iron workings.
