Archaeologists in northern Israel discovered a hoard of 22 bronze coins dating back over 1,600 years at Hukok, near Capernaum where Jesus preached.

The coins, from the 4th century A.D., were hidden during the Gallus Revolt, the last Jewish uprising under Roman rule.

They were found in a deep crevice at the end of a narrow tunnel, suggesting the owners hoped to reclaim them once the danger passed.

The underground hiding complex also dates back to earlier Jewish revolts, including the Great Revolt and the Bar-Kochba Revolt, Fox News has reported.

Researchers say the discovery could make Hukok a major tourist site, allowing the public to explore its hidden treasures.
