A 1,300-year-old treasure of 250 gold coins has been unearthed at the archaeological dig just below Dung Gate outside the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.
...
The only other treasure of gold coins found from the same period in Jerusalem includes only five coins – compared to the 264 found now. The image of Caesar Heraclius, who ruled the East Roman Empire from 610 to 641, is engraved on the coins.

what a find. i wonder what it was that caused a loss like this that it wasn't gone after.

This was indeed interesting. I read this on Fox News this morning. If I remember correctly the image of Heraclius was holding a cross on the coin.

God bless.
