The Bar Kokhba revolt was led by Simon Bar-Kokhba, also known as "Shimon Ben Kosva", who was a leader of the revolt against Roman rule. The rebels captured a lot of territory. The rebels were defeated by the Romans and many civilians were killed. More than half a million Jewish men were killed in the revolts, according to the ancient writer.

The Jewish rebels may not have used many of the artifacts because they may have gone against Jewish religious beliefs. The Israel Antiquities Authority said in a statement that the Jewish fighters did not use them because they are Roman cult artifacts and decorated with figures and pagan symbols.
The statement said that police officers stopped a car that was driving in the wrong direction and found artifacts. Researchers think the artifacts were taken during illegal excavations of a tunnel complex. The exact location of the tunnel complex was not released, even though artifacts were seized in the Musrara neighborhood of Jerusalem.
