Gold coins unearthed in Jerusalem
(01:26) Report

Dec 22 - Excavations uncover one of the largest hoard of gold coins ever found in Jerusalem.

A total of 264 gold coins were discovered during archaeological excavations in a car park on the edge of Jerusalem's walled Old City.

The coins were among the ruins of a building dating back to about the 7th century, or the end of the Byzantine period.

Helen Long reports.
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience
