CE is a secularized version of AD ... and this system of referring to years as AD / BC did not come until after AD 132...right? So is the author converting the year actually shown on the coin to what that same year is considered in current times...or is this coin a fake?
“ The coin bears a date, 132 C.E.”
No it doesn’t
Cool but ole Bat Kochba didn’t last long.
Yet another reminder of who the real indigenous people are. Their language, their religion. All forged there.
I think the whole stupid debate about the date is merely over the difference of how the report reported the date, which I believe was nothing more or less than the interpretation of the modern meaning of the actual date on the coin. No, the coin itself did not say “135 C.E.”. That is just the interpretation of whatever actual date markings there are on the coin.
