A silver denarius (‘Zuz’), Bar Kokhba Revolt
Obv.: A bunch of grapes surrounded by paleo-Hebrew inscription ![173]()
(Shimon). In the margins, vestiges of Latin inscription. Rev: Two trumpets surrounded by inscription ![173 (2)]()
(for the freedom of Jerusalem). To the right of the trumpets is the complete profile of the portrait of the Roman Emperor who appeared on the original. 132/5 C.E. 2.88 grams, 18 mm, axis 1. Cf. Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 70, no. 277. The Bar Kokhba Revolt (132-135 CE) used similar symbols and inscriptions to the First Revolt. It broke out some seventy years after the destruction of the Second Temple and fifteen years after a Jewish revolt in the diaspora. The tragic consequences of the Revolt led to a pun on the name Bar Kokhba, Bar Cosiba, “son of the lie”. Bar-Kokhba coins were struck on Roman coins.
