A set of six bronze prutot that were struck by the Roman procurators of Judaea in a laser printed olive wood box (6-62 CE.)
Each coin represents one of the procurators that struck coins in the Land of Israel. The symbolism employed largely reflects the agricultural produce of the land, palm tree, palm branch, ears of barley, motifs that the local populace was comfortable and were in no way antagonistic. Nevertheless in a number of coins such as the coins struck by Pontius Pilate there are pagan symbols derived from the Roman cult and on a coin of Antonius Felix are Roman military symbols, all of which could be considered a provocation. 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.
