Minted in Ancient Israel, this coin evokes one of the most important eras in all history. Nero sat on the throne of Rome, while the young Christian faith was still being spread by men who had known Jesus personally. In Judaea, the seeds of revolt had been planted that would soon burst forth in the first Jewish war against Rome. The person who first held this coin was witness to events that changed the course of human history forever. Set in a ring of radiant gold, it links us to the unbroken chain of civilization.
