Special Features

  • 2/3 Inch Size of Dime, Sterling Silver
  • Simon of Cyrene ( "Hearkening; listening", Standard Hebrew imon, Tiberian Hebrew imn) was the man compelled by the Romans to carry the cross of Jesus as Jesus was taken to his crucifixion, according to all three Synoptic Gospels.
  • And as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name: him they compelled to bear his cross.
  • His home town, Cyrene, Libya, was located in northern Africa. Cyrene, a Greek colony, also had a Jewish community where 100,000 Judean Jews had been forced to settle during the reign of Ptolemy Soter (323285 BC) and was an early center of Christianity.
  • Cyrene was supposedly the destination of many "Sicari" dagger men who fled the Roman legions at the time of the Jewish Revolt.
  • This was later to precipitate further Jewish insurrection in the area in the reign of Hadrian and Trajan.
