Archaeologists uncovered a gold votive offering to a war god while excavating a 1,800-year-old Roman fortress in the country of Georgia.

"This thin plate, inscribed in Greek, was a dedication to Jupiter Dolichenus, a deity especially revered by Roman soldiers," the Polish-Georgian archaeological team wrote in a statement, calling it "unique."
