New sword find in Jerusalem, image?

[M. Demetrius]

Maybe I misunderstood the story. It thought it said that the coins were dated AFTER Herod.

I guess Herod could have begun assembling raw materials or something, as was often the habit (then and now) for a big construction project.

I'll go back and reread it to see if I'm on anything like the right track. (exit M. Dem, stage right)
