It seems that by the fourth year of the revolt, the mood of the besieged rebels in Jerusalem had shifted from euphoria and hope for freedom to despair and a yearning for redemption. It is also possible that the <em>Arba Minim<\/em> [the four species used on the holiday of <em>Sukkot<\/em>] on the coin, symbols of the <em>Sukkot<\/em> holiday and pilgrimage to the Temple, were intended to stir among the rebels a sense of redemption and hope for miracles and better days.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_27453\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27453\" style=\"width:
