Notes:
D. Hendin, "A Bar Kokhba Lamp Hoard Collection," Studies Mildenberg 3 (this coin) Ex Bar Kokhba Lamp Hoard. Apparently discovered near Hebron, a small group of sixteen gold, silver, and bronze coins were found together with two fragments of an unused oil lamp that may have been used to conceal them. The latest of the coins, a denarius of Antoninus Pius, struck in 151-152 CE, dates the hoard to a little over fifteen years after the defeat of Bar Kokhba in 135 CE. In addition to the circulating coins, the inclusion of the seven bronze coins, covering the three years of the Bar Kokhba War, is noteworthy. While they were of no commercial value, since they had been demonetized after the war, they were nevertheless kept for their sentimental value.
