Abstract

IN order to suppress the Bar Kokhba Revolt, Hadrian brought massive Roman forces to Judea from Britannia, western Europe, and the eastern European provinces. 1 As early as 1960, Alexander Scheiber noted that a Bar Kokhba coin had been found in Brigetio (Szöny, Hungary) in 1940. He suggested that it might have been brought there from Judea as a souvenir.
