US returns Roman lead coffins to Lebanon
The United States has recovered lead artifacts dating back to the Roman era, which were unlawfully stolen from the city of Sidon in Lebanon. These artifacts have been returned to Lebanon through the American Consulate in New York. Investigations indicate that the items, dating from the 2nd and 3rd centuries BCE, were smuggled out after being stolen during illegal excavation activities. It is believed that they originated from workshops that produced lead coffins in Sidon. This effort is part of the American-Lebanese cooperation to combat illegal trafficking of cultural property, with Lebanon continuing to follow up on the case with American authorities.
