Four coins dating back almost 1,900 years, to when the Jewish people launched a revolt against the Roman Empire, have been discovered in the Judaean desert.
"Five hundred and eighty thousand men were slain in the various raids and battles, and the number of those that perished by famine, disease and fire was past finding out … thus nearly the whole of Judaea was made desolate," Roman historian Cassius Dio wrote in his book"Roman history" .
The three other newly discovered coins have an inscription saying"Simeon," which may refer to Simeon bar Kokhba, the leader of the revolt, according to the statement.
