The nickname "Cave of Horror" was given after the skeletons of 40 men, women and children were discovered. Later on, a number of fragments of letters and writings were discovered in the cave, among them were a number of Bar Kokhba coins and a Greek copy of the Book of the Twelve.[3][4] Three potsherds with the names of three of the deceased were also found alongside the skeletons in the cave. At the top of the cliff above the cave were the ruins of a Roman camp, similar to the one found above the Cave of Letters. It was used for the Roman siege of the Jews hiding in the Cave of Horror.
