Archaeologists In Israel Uncover 2,000-year-old Coins And Jewelry!
The jewelry, believed to date back to the Bar Kokhba revolts, was likely hidden by a wealthy woman during the rebellion against the Romans. "The coins that were discovered date to the reigns of the Roman emperors Nero, Nerva and Trajan who ruled the Roman Empire from *54-117 CE," says Aladjem. "The coins are adorned with the images of the emperors and on their reverse are cultic portrayals of the emperor, symbols of the brotherhood of warriors and mythological gods such as Jupiter seated on a throne or Jupiter grasping a lightning bolt in his hand.”
The artifacts are being treated at the Israel Antiquities Authority's Artifacts Treatment Department in Jerusalem.
