(Sorry if this is a repost.) Once again, numismatics has been used to help shed light on ancient history. In this case, the evidence has been used for attributing a road to Pontius Pilate. To uncover an ancient stepped street in Jerusalem, Israeli archaeologists and engineers are building what resembles a subway tunnel under a Palestinian neighborhood. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/10178842/lost-road-pontius-pilate-jerusalem-rome-jesus/ https://www.haaretz.com/archaeology...y-pontius-pilate-archaeologists-say-1.8004004 https://www.nationalgeographic.com/history/2019/10/road-built-biblical-villain-uncovered-jerusalem/
They found Agrippa I coins above the pavement - how can they say there are none beneath it, too (unless they've lifted every stone along the 600-meter road and looked)?
Very interesting! Thanks for passing those links along Bart9349. Here is another article that shows some of the coins they've found under the pavers: http://www.ancientpages.com/2019/10...-street-in-jerusalem-built-by-pontius-pilate/
