Jesus is said to have overturned the tables of moneychangers in the Temple. But who were these people, and whose money were they changing?

With the help of archaeologists, biblical experts and mules, we'll get our hands dirty doing the jobs of ancient carpenters, shepherds and camel-riding merchants.
