1,900-year-old coin found in Israel

A 1,900-year-old coin, from the Bar Kokhba revolt period, was discovered in the southern part of Israel, the state’s Nature and Parks Authority said on Sunday. The Bar Kokhba revolt took place between 132-136, during which the Jews of the ancient Land of Israel rebelled against the Roman Empire during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. The coin was discovered by two tour guides on a dirt road in a nature reserve in the Lakhish region, about 20 kilometers from the city of Kiryat Gat.
