Interesting fact
The Sela - Simeon bar Kosevah (Year Three) coin from Judea, which was minted between 134-135 CE, features an image of a lulav and an etrog on one side, and an inscription in Hebrew on the other side that reads "Year Three" and "Simeon bar Kosevah." This coin is significant because it represents one of the few examples of a Jewish coin that was minted during the Second Jewish Revolt against the Roman Empire, and it highlights the importance of Jewish religious and cultural symbols during this time period.
