The Coins of Herod: A Modern Analysis and Die Classification: Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, cartea 79

Autor Donald Tzvi Ariel, Jean-Philippe Fontanille
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 dec 2011
Herod, ruler of Judea at a pivotal time (40–4 BCE) in the region’s history, was Rome’s most famous client king. In this volume, Herod’s coinage benefits from a comprehensive reappraisal. The coins and dies have been thoroughly examined, resulting in innovative iconographic and technological interpretations. Study of the coins’ presence in hoards, their archaeological contexts and geographical distribution, together with other typological, epigraphic and numismatic observations, have aided in establishing that all of the types were minted in Jerusalem. A new relative chronology of Herod’s dated and undated coins is the most important by-product of this study. Finally, an attempt is made to peg this seriation to known events within the king’s reign.

Recenzii

The authors have done a monumental job of gathering available evidence and presenting it coherently. Their book is a "must have" for every numismatic and historic library. It will be the opening of all important scholarly discussions of the subject in the future.

David Hendin, Bibilcal Archaeology Review 38 (2012)

'This monograph is accompanied by numerous well-chosen illustrations, including 96 plates of die charts and a comprehensive bibliography. It has been well edited [...] an important addition to the literature of the ancient coinage of the Land of Israel.'
