And the fella was smart enough to put the Macedonian shield on some coins! Judaea. Mint in Samaria (Sebaste?). Herodians. Herod I (the Great) 40-4 BCE. Four Prutot Æ Macedonian shield with decorated rim / BAΣIΛEΩΣ HPΩΔOY L Γ, crested helmet. 20 mm., 3.81 g. fine. Ex: Savoca 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor Ancient Coin Hunter Posted July 31 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted July 31 (edited) Have yet to get a coin of Herod. I have an Alexander Jannaeus struck under the high priest Yehonatan that came in a bulk lot of LRB's and coins of Petra. Great display DR as usual!
