Looted items, thought to be from the Bar Kochba revolt of 132-136 AD, have been recently recovered in a car trunk in Jerusalem.

Experts at the Israel Antiquities Authority believe that the items were looted from a hidden complex in the Judean foothills that served as a refuge during the Bar Kochba revolt in 132-136 CE.

A bronze jug with a depiction of a Roman banqueting scene showing a reclining figure holding a jug of wine was also recovered

The authority believes the artifacts were stolen from a Bar Kochba hiding complex located near the Tarqumiya border crossing in the southern West Bank.”
