EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin from the Bar Kochba Revolt, which took place between 134-135 AD. Crafted by the Jewish School in the 2nd century, this metal coin is now part of a private collection. It is believed that this very coin might have been used during sacred ceremonies at the Jerusalem temple. The Bar Kochba Revolt was an uprising against the Roman Empire and marked the third Jewish revolt (132 AD). Led by Simon bar Kosiba, who later changed his name to bar-Kochba, it symbolized a fierce fight for political independence and freedom. This coin serves as a powerful reminder of those revolutionary times. On one side of the coin, we find intricate engravings depicting musical instruments such as trumpets, representing both cultural significance and resistance spirit. The reverse side displays tails with inscriptions denoting its denomination and silver content. With its historical value and symbolic nature, this ancient currency holds immense importance for scholars studying religious history, numismatics enthusiasts exploring ancient coins' origins or individuals interested in political movements throughout time. Captured beautifully by photographer eZev Radovan under Bridgeman Images' lens, this print allows us to appreciate every detail of this extraordinary artifact while reminding us of our past struggles for independence and self-determination.
