Excavations at the underground complex at Hukuk’s place in Galilee revealed a surprising search: One of the last major Jewish against the Roman rule, a bronze coin found from the Galce Rebellion (C. 351-354 CE). Although the underground complex was used very much in both the Jewish uprising and the Bar Cobbler, this new discovery proves that it has been used by Jewish rebels for at least two centuries.

The ancient village is actually a maze of the underground complex hidden tunnels and rooms that were actually built during the first Jewish uprising (C. 66-74 CE), which was for the rebels to hide from the Roman army. The complex was extended several decades later in the preparation of the Cocaba Rebellion (132-136 CE). During the excavation of the tunnel network, a group of volunteers discovered a hidden pit at the end of a narrow and tight transit. Inside the pit, they found a pile of 22 bronze coins, which was deliberately hidden by the rebels who probably hoped to recover one day.

Based on the history of the underground complex, the excavators expected that the coins would come to one of the two Jewish rebellions to date. However, with their trauma, the coins are the faces of the coin joint vibrant emperors constituent II (R. 337-361 CE) and the faces of Contestin I (R. 337-350 CE), the son of the famous Constantine the Great. Dating the coins confirms that they should be kept in the complex during the period of the gallus rebellion, the last important attempt to abolish the Roman rule of the Jewish forces. This is the first proof of the reuse of the tunnels during the uprising.

Scholars believe that the growing Jewish persecution by the growing Christian population was the answer, though it should be considered in the context of the last two uprising against the Roman rule. While the Roman Emperor Constitution II was occupied by a civil war, a Jewish leader named Ishaq of Saifuris forced a group of men to attack the Roman garrison of Saifuris, about 15 15 miles southwest of the Holy Prophet. From there, he proceeded to conquer many other cities in the region. In response to the uprising, the constituents also sent their cousin, Flavis Constitution Giles to end the uprising. According to Jerome FlostoregieusGalce killed thousands of rebels, including very young children to fight.

Despite the brutal end of the Galis uprising, which saw the destruction of several important centers for Jewish life, life continued in fact and even maintained its Jewish role. A decade of excavation at this place has revealed an excellent Jewish synagogue built in the fifth century.
