The only Roman emperor's sceptre to have been found has gone on public
display in Rome for the first time.

The sceptre, which is topped by a blue orb that represents the earth,
was discovered at the end of last year and is believed to have been
held by Emperor Maxentius, who ruled for six years until 312AD.

Interesting report on both terrestrial and underwater archaeology
efforts in Italy.

Darth Vader: His lightsaber.
The Emperor: [to Luke] Ah, a Jedi's weapon, much like your father's.
By now you must know that your father can never be turned from the
Dark Side. So will it be with you.
