New find sheds light on ancient site in Jerusalem
According to the article it seems that the Western Wall of the Temple wasn't completed during the reign of Herod. Coins discovered near the foundation stones date two decades after his death. They were minted by the Prefect Valerius Gratus. Interesting but not earth-shaking.
