Ben Hur, 1959: Star of David or Menorah?

Ben Hur was admirable in its attempts to be true to the historical novel on which it was based. In this shot, we can see him wear a Star of David – or Magan Dovid – around his neck.

However, the first records of the Star of David appearing within Judaism are first found in the 12th century. Most likely, Jews before then would have worn a Menorah around their neck.
