The Coin of the Temple Souheil Sami Bayoud

The rebuilding of the Temple of Jerusalem was launched by king Herod I the great in 20 BC. Considered as a center of religion and a destination of pilgrimage, the new Temple was enlarged and surrounded by a wall with gates. The Temple's square served as a gathering place and its porticoes sheltered merchants and money- changers. During the rebellion against Rome, the Temple was entirely destroyed by the roman forces under the orders of Titus in 70 AD. After the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, this story will lead the reader to numerous places and will introduce him to different characters. One of them was a Knight Templar. He got in 1120 an ancient roman coin discovered under the Temple while the Knights were undertaking the excavation works. This coin held a great secret that goes back to hundreds of years. Since 1120, nobody realized what the coin bears until this fact was revealed in 29th of March 1994. Through this story, more than ten years later, the reader will find out the greatest and the most valuable secret for his life.
