A bronze prutah of Valerius Gratus, procurator of Judea under Tiberius
Obv.: Greek inscription IOY/ ΛIA (Julia) in inverted wreath. Rev.: Three lilies stemming from between two leaves and the date [L] Γ (year three). 16 C.E, 2.53 grams, 17¾ mm, axis 4. Cf. Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 73, no. 321. Herod’s son who ruled in Jerusalem, Archelaus, was incompetent so the Romans appointed governors, termed procurators. Most of them, with the exception of Pontius Pilate, respected Jewish religious sensitivities and struck coins with neutral motifs, drawn largely from the seven agricultural species of Israel.
