#9832: Seleukid Tetradrachm, 175-164 BC
Antiochus IV

Evil Ruler of Jewish Lore - 
Associated with the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah
Put Down the Maccabeen Rebelion
Source of Phrase "Line in the Sand"

Historical Context:  Notable events during the reign of Antiochus IV include his near-conquest of Egypt, which led to a confrontation that became an origin of the metaphorical phrase, "line in the sand," and the rebellion of the Jewish Maccabees.  Antiochus IV is remembered as a major villain and persecutor in the Jewish traditions associated with Hanukkah, including the books of Maccabees and the "Scroll of Antiochus."  Hanukkah commemorates the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem at the time of the Maccabean Revolt (2nd Cent BC).

While Antiochus was busy in Egypt , a false rumor spread that he had been killed. The deposed High Priest Jason gathered a force of 1,000 soldiers and made a surprise attack on the city of Jerusalem . An official Antiochus appointed as High Priest, Menelaus, was forced to flee Jerusalem during a riot. On the King's return from Egypt in 167 BC enraged by his defeat, he attacked Jerusalem and restored Menelaus, then executed many Jews.  "When these happenings were reported to the king, he thought that Judea was in revolt. Raging like a wild animal, he set out from Egypt and took Jerusalem by storm. He ordered his soldiers to cut down without mercy those whom they met and to slay those who took refuge in their houses. There was a massacre of young and old, a killing of women and children, a slaughter of virgins and infants. In the space of three days, eighty thousand were lost, forty thousand meeting a violent death, and the same number being sold into slavery." (2Maccabees 5:11-1)

These coins were minted starting in 70 AD to commemorate the Roman conquest of Judea. On the one side of the coin there appears "Judaea" or :Judaea capta"  ("Judea conquered"). Judea is typically depicted as a mourning woman sitting under a military trophy or palm tree. The head of the Emperor appears on obverse side of the coin.  

"Thy men shall fall by the sword, And thy mighty in the war. And her gates shall lament and mourn; And utterly bereft she shall sit upon the ground. (Isaiah 3:25, 26) So fell Jerusalem in the second year of Vespasian’s reign, on the 8th of September, captured five times before and now for the second time laid utterly waste...There was no one left for the soldiers to kill or plunder." (Josephus, The Jewish War, 21, 22)

These coins were minted by the Jews (66 to 69 AD).  This is the same war as noted in the above description of the Roman "Judaea Capta" coins described above.  

The natives of Judea rose in revolt during the period of instability that followed the death of Nero.  Vespasian, and later Titus, were tasked with quelling the Jewish revolt, which they did by 70 AD.  These coins were minted by the Jewish people during the revolt period.

These coins were minted by the Jews (132 to 135 AD) during the Bar Kochba Revolt.  

Under Roman Emperor Hadrian, the Jews came to believe that they would have a homeland and a Holy Temple .  However, Hadrian went back on his word and made numerous demands upon the Jews, including moving the Holy Temple and later, as an ultimate sacrilege, building of a temple to Jupiter in Jerusalem .  Under the strong leadership of Shimon Bar-Kokhba, the Jews rebelled and captured approximately 50 strongholds in Palestine and 985 undefended towns and villages, including Jerusalem .  After 3 years, the Jews ultimately fell to the Romans with the final battle at Bethar.

These coins were minted in ANCIENT JUDEA between 103-76 BC. Although these coins were struck before the time of Jesus, they were the most widely circulating coins in Judea during his lifetime. The Bible story of the Widow who gave all that she had (two mites) is one of the most popular Biblical stories. In ancient Judea, a destitute woman, who was widowed, contributed most of what money she probably had to the temple as an offering. Jesus observed her generosity and told his disciples "I say unto you that this poor widow hath cast more in than all they (the rich men) have cast into the treasury. For all they did cast in of their abundance but she of her want did cast in all that she had." (Mark 12:41-44) Jewish Prutah, like the coin offered, were the most common small denomination bronze coin in Ancient Judea and is believed that these are the most likely coins that the "Poor Widow" actually had in her hand.

Historical Context:  This coin was minted in ANCIENT JUDEA between 37 to 4 BC under the Governorship of HEROD the GREAT.  Herod was named governor of Judaea by the Roman Senate in 37 BC.  One of his first official acts was to order the deaths of 45 members of the Sanhedrin, a prior governing body.  About 28 BC, he had a number of his family members murdered, including his wife, and not long after he ordered two of his sons to death.  Upon hearing of this, Augustus (current Roman Emperor) said, "It is better to be Herod's pig than his son," a well known and famous quote.  At the end of his life, he led the effort to assassinate the Christ Child by ordering the slaughter of all male Jew babies in 6 or 5 BC.  Jesus was born about 6 or 5 BC, not 1 BC.   Of course, he failed.

Historical Context:  This coin was minted in ANCIENT JUDEA between 26 to 36 BC when PONTIUS PILATE was the Governor (Prefect) of JUDEA.  Pontius Pilate is best known in history for being the Governor that sentenced Jesus Christ to death on The Cross.  He was supposedly a ruthless governor.  He engineered a massacre of Samaritans and was later removed by Roman Emperor Tiberius as a result.  He later attempted to evade responsibility in the trial of Jesus in part because of his fear of the high priests’ power.  According to tradition he committed suicide at Rome, a fitting end. He is attested in the works of Josephus and Eusebius.

Historical Context:   This coin was minted in ANCIENT JUDEA around 59-62 AD by Porcius Festus, Governor of Judea under Nero (Roman Emperor). Judea was under the control of the Persian Empire until 332 BC when it was conquered by Alexander the Great. Thereafter, the Jews came under the control of the Ptolemies of Egypt (3rd Cent BC) and then the Seleukid Dynasty until they achieved independence around the mid 2nd Cent BC.
