Archaeologists found 250 gold coins Sunday in a dig in the City of David in Jerusalem. The dig is being carried out in what was until now a parking lot for the tourist site.
The dig is being conducted by the Archaeological Authority in conjunction with the Environmental Parks Authority. It is funded by the Elad foundation which is responsible for the City of David.
Can't find another confirmation so - stay tuned.

The gold coins date back to the Byzantine period and bear the image of the Emperor Heraclius, who ruled between 610 and 641 A.D. The nearly 1,400 year-old coins depict him in military dress, holding a cross in his right hand.
