A bronze coin of Herod the Great, mint of Samaria
Obv.: Tripod with lebes standing on a podium, flanked by the date L Γ (=year three) on left and the monogram ![125]()
on right. Around the tripod, the Greek inscription [H]PΩΔOY B[AΣIΛEΩΣ] (of king Herod). Rev.: Helmet with cheek pieces, star on top and two palm branches. 40 B.C.E. 9.62 grams, 25 mm, axis 12. Cf. Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 44, no. 44. The Herodian dynasty founded by Herod the Great the ultimate political animal had a number of rulers, the most Jewish of them being Agrippa I. The coins struck by Herod himself were in accordance with Jewish religious sensitivities. Likewise his son Archelaus and his grandson Agrippa struck coins with symbols compatible with Judaism. By way of contrast Agrippa like his brother Antipas and son Agrippa II struck coins with portraits and pagan motifs for his gentile subjects.
