This meant that perhaps also worship on the Temple Mount was resumed. The image of the building itself is analysed against a comparative background composed of other sacred buildings shown on earlier Jewish coins, in particular those coming from the period of the First Jewish War with Rome. Coins from other areas where similar buildings are represented were also used as comparative material. Consequently, the answer to the basic question of whether the possible Temple on Bar Kokhba coins was a confirmation of the historical fact of taking power over the Jewish capital or was it only a manifestation of longing \u2013 firstly after the loss of the Temple in 70, and secondly after the restoration of Jerusalem as the spiritual and political centre of the Chosen Nation \u2013 clearly leads to the second conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Key words:<\/strong> Bar Kokhba, Jerusalem Temple, Ancient Jewish Coins, Ancient Rome, Ancient Judaea<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI: <\/strong>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.52800\/ajst.1.a.02<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cieciel\u0105g, J. 2020. \u201cThe Temple on the Coins of Bar Kokhba \u2013 a Manifestation of Longing or a Political Programme?
