Obverse: Shekel of Israel/Year Two/Chalice Reverse: Jerusalem the Holy/Three Budding Pomegranates The First Jewish War against Rome, also known as the Great Revolt, lasted from 66-70 AD. Financial exploitation and religious intolerance were the key motivations for the Jewish uprising. For decades the population had been ruled by Roman procurators who had to raise a specified annual tax, any thing above this they could keep, a system that encouraged gross exploitation. There was also a growing disrespect for the Jewish religious practices. Origin: Jerusalem Circa: 67 AD to 68 AD Collection: Jewish Coins Style: Year Two Medium: Silver
