Josephus on Jesus
Once restored to its more original reading Josephus offers us a most fascinating reference to Jesus. Indeed, it is the earliest reference to Jesus outside the New Testament, and its rather matter of fact, neutral reporting, makes it all the more valuable to the historian.

Jesus Coins
The coins on display are part of the largest collection of "Jesus coins" ever discovered at an archaeological site.
The coins, some with inscriptions in Greek such as "Jesus the Messiah, the King of Kings" and "Jesus, the Messiah, the Victor," were found last fall in archaeological excavations in Israel, directed by Prof. Yizhar Hirschfeld and Oren Gutfeld of the Hebrew University Institute of Archaeology, at the site of ancient Tiberias, just south of the present city on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Those excavations yielded the largest cache of objects from the Islamic period ever uncovered in Israel
