‘Freedom Coins’ From First Jewish Revolt Against Rome Discovered in Temple Mount Cave - Breaking Israel News | Latest News. Biblical Perspective.
While several of the coins date to the early years of the revolt, the great majority are from its final year, otherwise known as “Year Four” (69-70 CE). Significantly, during that final year, the Hebrew inscription on the coins was changed from “For the Freedom of Zion” to “For the Redemption of Zion,” a shift that reflects the changing mood of the rebels during this period of horror and famine.
“A discovery like this—ancient coins bearing the words ‘Freedom’ and ‘Redemption’—found right before the Jewish Festival of Freedom, Passover, begins, is incredibly moving,” Dr. Mazar noted.
In addition to Hebrew inscriptions, the coins were decorated with Jewish symbols, such as*four plant species*mentioned in relation to the*Sukkot holiday: palm, myrtle, citron and willow, and a picture of the goblet that was used in the Temple service.
