<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mike Margolis, post: 3185832, member: 88401&quot;]Thanks Dadams for the video. Here also is a link to an historical novel that covers a lot of details about the revolt and the person of Shimon B&#039;K as well as Akiva&#039;s Roman heritage and martyrdom:<a href="http://www.jewishusedbooks.com/prodview.asp?idProduct=89428" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.jewishusedbooks.com/prodview.asp?idProduct=89428" rel="nofollow">http://www.jewishusedbooks.com/prodview.asp?idProduct=89428</a></p><p>Also there is relevant Talmudic reference(not in the Akiva book) to A.Pius as the Caesar who reversed Hadrian&#039;s harsh edicts against the Jews. Included is a story of how two Rabbinic sages of the the tribe of Judah(symbol is the lion) that visited A.Pius, and healed his daughter thus making the emperor lift the edicts against the Jews so they could practice their religion. This may be why his only surviving daughter of the two daughters, Faustina Jr. began using the reverse of her coinage(see my profile image) with the two guardian lions at the throne of the Kybele. My own personal speculation but it is incredible to think that a famous Roman sestertius may be related to Talmudic legend. Two very different lines of ancient veiled history being brought together with a COIN! Only an ancient coin nerd could think of that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
