after the second revolt against the Romans between 132 -136 when the Romans changed the name of the province of Judea to Syria Palaestina in order to eradicate the memory of Judea after the failed rebellion, though some Jewish communities remained in various locations such as the galilee the majority were slaughtered or sold as slaves. The coin on the right was stamped between 6-9 AD during the time of COPONIUS who was the first procurator of Judea, and it bears the image of the Judean date palm tree; that is because dates grown in the region have had distinctive reputations for thousands of years and have become the symbol of the kingdom. Here's an interesting symbolic story. Between 1963– 1965, excavations at Herods's palace on Masada revealed a cache of date palm seeds preserved in an ancient jar. They had experienced a very dry and sheltered environment for millennia. Radiocarbon dating confirmed the seeds dated from between 155 BC to 64 CE. The seeds were held in storage for 40 years until Dr. Sarah Sallon came up with the initiative to germinate some ancient seeds, and eventually, in 2005 she and her friend Dr. Elaine Solowey managed to sprout several seeds. Nowadays, these trees, which became extinct centuries ago, are already bearing fruit, and the ancient date palm of Judea is alive again. And last but not least, the silver coin at the bottom was stamped after the failure of the first rebellion and depicts a Roman soldier standing above a Jewish captive with the words "Judaea Capta" occupied Judea. well , that's not going to happen again.
