- Abstract
A group of Bar Kokhba tetradrachms and denars, and a bronze ring, acquired by Henry Gillman while U.S. consul in Jerusalem, come from a hoard said to have been found at Hebron in 1889. The coins are presumed to be the first assemblage of Bar Kokhba currency known to modern scholars. Some of these specimens were subsequently divided between the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the Detroit Institute of Arts. The hoard included a large number of coins struck in the final stage of the rebellion and was hidden before some of the latest issues were dispersed.
