Abstract

The coinage of Bar Kosiba (Bar Kokhba), the leader of the Second Jewish Revolt (132–135/6 CE), has long been acknowledged as a source of data for understanding the ideology and goals of the rebel regime he headed. In particular, the imagery and legends on Bar Kosiba’s tetradrachms have been the subject of many interpretations and controversies. This article proposes that the facade of the temple on the obverse of Bar Kosiba’s tetradrachms and the four species on its reverse side are complementary symbols, joined together to represent the future inauguration ceremony of the restored temple. Furthermore, this imagery on the tetradrachms may have been intended to respond to the coins issued to commemorate the founding of the colony of Aelia Capitolina on the site of Jerusalem.

修复后的圣殿落成典礼？对 Bar Kokhba Tetradrachm 的（初步）重新解读

长期以来，第二次犹太起义（公元 132-135/6 年）领袖 Bar Kosiba（Bar Kokhba）的钱币一直被认为是了解其领导的起义政权的意识形态和目标的数据来源。特别是巴尔-科西巴的四分金币上的图像和传说一直是许多解释和争议的主题。本文认为，巴尔-科西巴的四角硬币正面的神庙外墙和背面的四个物种是互补的象征，它们共同代表了未来修复后的神庙的落成典礼。此外，四角硬币上的这一意象可能是为了与为纪念在耶路撒冷遗址上建立 Aelia Capitolina 殖民地而发行的硬币相呼应。
