[QUOTE]Israeli archaeologists from the University of Haifa have uncovered an enormous bronze mask of Pan (Faunus, Satyr) – the Greek/Roman god of the woods, shepherds, and fertility – at the archaeological site of Hippos-Sussita, located on a hill overlooking the Sea of Galilee.

“Bronze masks of this size are extremely rare and usually do not depict Pan or any of the other Greek or Roman mythological images. Most of the known bronze masks from the Hellenistic and Roman periods are miniature,” said Dr Michael Eisenberg of the University of Haifa’s Department of Archaeology and the Zinman Institute of Archaeology.

Archaeological excavations at the site of the ancient Greco-Roman city of Hippos-Sussita (3rd century BC – 7th century CE) are usually conducted in the summer. However, a series of intriguing structures on the ridge of the city, where the ancient road passed, led to a one-day dig in the winter of 2015.

The dig focused on a basalt structure that Dr Eisenberg and his colleagues assumed was a type of armored hangar for the city’s projectile machines. The archaeologists then decided to search the structure for coins to help them date the other finds.[/QUOTE]

Roll 1d6. On a 1, resurrect an ancient daemon.

Note that every side of the dice is a 1.
