Bar Kokhba weight

Four weights are from the Bar Kokhba period, on which the inscription is inscribed using the square Hebrew alphabet.

One lead weight was found in 1987 by Yair Zoran in an underground hideout in Horvat Alim near Beit Guvrin.

The weight is 803 grams (1.770 lb), decorated with a stylish rosette and surrounded by a Hebrew inscription.

[2] Kloner mentioned in his article that an additional weight was bought in 1967 for the Eretz Israel Museum but was stolen in 1976.

In 2003, Deutsch published another weight weighing 215 grams (7.6 oz), with an inscription in the ancient Hebrew alphabet: Shimon, Prince of Israel.
