The artifact confirms that Baena’s olive groves were cultivated, harvested, and even exported in ancient Roman times.

Near the city of Baena in Spain, a farmer accidentally stumbled upon a massive stone relic. At this time he was uprooting an olive tree. The City Hall reported it, the Charlotte Observer wrote.

Three grooves were seen from the side of the search. According to city officials, the worn stone is an ancient Roman millstone designed specifically for pressing olives and extracting olive oil.

“This type of stone mill, known as the trapetum, originated in Greece and later spread throughout the vast expanses of the ancient Roman empire. To operate such a mill, workers grind olives with the help of a second part which fits perfectly into a bowl-shaped groove turned with a long stick. The artifact is about 0.9 meters high and has a diameter of about 1.2 meters. It is amazing that the artifact weighs about 3 tons .

It was mentioned that the archaeologist Jose Antonio Morena estimated the age of the stone mill at about 2000 years. According to the expert, the artifact proves that the olive groves of Baena were grown, harvested and even exported during the time of Ancient Rome.

The mayor’s office announced plans to restore, examine and move the millstones to the Baena Municipal Historical Museum.

Recall that early archaeologists discovered a necropolis near Naples.
