Dear Friends:

I started paying attention to coins when I was about 8 years old and my collector-dad tasked me with daily searching of the family’s change for good dates and mint marks. Back in the early 1950s we still found an occasional Indian Head cent!

As a volunteer in Israel for the year immediately after the Six Day War in 1967, I drove my Vespa to Jerusalem one weekend to seek a few coins as a gift for my dad. I did buy him some ancient coins, but in the process got hooked myself. I met dealers, archaeologists, and collectors. Today, 56 years later, I am still in touch with some of their children and grandchildren.

Around 15 years ago I sold my first collection of ancient Judean/Biblical coins. Also, over the decades I have donated various collections (coins, weights, forgeries, holy objects) both to the Israel Museum and the American Numismatic Society.

I had not intended to sell this group of coins and weights: I have bought some of these coins since I sold my first collection. Others have been with me for five decades.

The reason I decided to sell this collection is to make a small contribution to a big effort--the relocation of the American Numismatic Society headquarters to a new location which will improve accessibility to and use of the ANS’s incredible research resources.

My friend and ANS Chairman Michael Beall purchased a portion of my original collection some years ago, and he has generously added a number of the coins from my original collection to this auction. Thanks to Mike Gasvoda and my other friends at CNG, 100% of the hammer price of each and every lot in this auction will be paid to me (or Mike Beall) and we, in turn, will donate 100% of that amount to the American Numismatic Society.

THE COINS

Each of the coins offered here was selected by me from nearly a million coins from this area of the world that I have examined over the years. These are the coins I kept for research and study. Each coin was interesting to me because of the strike, the style, or the coin itself. Quite a number of the coins being sold here are plate coins in the current sixth edition of my GUIDE TO BIBLICAL COINS

I hope that the collectors who buy coins and weights from this collection will enjoy owning them as much as I have.

HASMONEAN DYNASTY

Rising to power in the shadow of the withering Seleukid Empire, the Hasmonean dynasty began roughly twenty years after the Revolt of the Maccabees. Led by Mattathias the Hasmonean, an elder faith leader from the village of Modiin, and his five sons, the revolt spawned out of a furious rejection of Hellenistic values forcefully imposed on the Jewish ways of life by the Seleukids. Raising a small army in response to the Seleukid king, Antiochos IV Epiphanes, sending troops to oversee religious conversion in Modiin, Mattathias waged war against the empire. Eventually the movement was passed along to his son, the legendary Judah “The Maccabee” — his name possibly derived from the Aramaic maqqaba meaning “The Hammer”. A gifted general proficient in guerilla tactics, Judah defeated the Seleukid army of Apollonios, and liberated Jerusalem and its Temple in 164 BCE. His victory was met with such rejoicing that the Temple was rededicated for eight days in a grand festival that would endure each year through the millennia — the Jewish tradition of Chanukah. Fighting continued for several years, ultimately ending in a treaty between Judah and Lysias, the viceroy of Antiochus IV. As David Hendin writes, “Freedom of worship was once again guaranteed, and Jerusalem was recognized as the religious capital of the Jewish nation.”

Established by Judah’s brother, Simon Thassi, the Hasmonean dynasty lasted from roughly 140 BCE to 37 BCE, and during its prominence it facilitated the expansion and full independence of Judaea. Temporarily unhindered by military obligations, Simon’s Judaea was bustling and prosperous — even garnering the support of the Seleukid-hating Roman Senate in 139 BCE. Much of Hasmonean rule, otherwise, was marred by civil conflict. Judean-Seleukid struggle would also continue on and off for years until the Seleucids were finally relegated to obscurity by their own hand, torn asunder by civil war of their own. The dynasty would again be threatened with the rise of Pompey the Great in Rome, who would eventually lead the Roman Republic to conquer Judaea in 63 BCE, turning the province into a tributary state.

The coinage produced during this time was some of the most important in the history of Judaea, as the first Jewish dynastic coinage ever struck. The lily, the ancient symbol of Jerusalem and of rebirth, supplanted on early coinage the traditional position of the Seleukid king on the obverse, marking Jewish religious independence.

HERODIAN DYNASTY

Lasting from roughly 40 BCE to CE 95, the Herodian dynasty of Judaea was established by Herod I, a vassal ruler of the Roman Empire. Born to an assimilated Jewish Idumenean family and advisors to the Hasmonean dynasty, Herod was declared king in 40 BCE by the Roman Senate and the Triumvirate under Mark Antony, and later by Augustus (though it would not be until 37 BCE that Herod would actually possess a kingdom). Herod was a jealous, polarizing ruler particularly notable for his historical proximity to the life of Jesus, and is mentioned numerous times in the Bible: “...Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king…” (Matthew 2:1). As David Hendin writes, “While Herod was undeniably Jewish, he was less popular with Jews than with the Romans. Inside his own nation, Herod was considered cruel, vengeful, and power-hungry.” He oversaw enormous public works projects during his reign, more than doubling the size of the Temple Mount and renovating the Second Temple. Furthermore, as Hendin continues, “Members of the dynasty Herod founded became official and unofficial spokesmen for the Jewish people not only in their kingdom, but throughout the ancient world. The influence of Herod and his descendants continued to affect decisions by the imperial court in Rome for more than a century.”

Herodian coinage, a robust and varied series in Judaean numismatics, is most notable for some of its later issues, which can be considered some of the earliest Roman provincial coinage in Judaea. One coin, struck under Agrippa I, goes so far as to depict Agrippa and Herod of Chalcis crowning Claudius with a wreath as a translated legend reads “A vow and treaty of friendship and alliance between the Great King Agrippa and Augustus Caesar, the Senate and the People of Rome.” Due to its importance in the history of Roman provincial coinage, some coinage of the later dynasts in the Herodian line will be made available in the Roman provincial portion of this auction.

THE JEWISH WAR

The notorious defector and only surviving Jewish historian of his time, Josephus, writes that “[The Jewish War] was the greatest not only of the wars of our time, but so far as accounts have reached us, well nigh of all that ever broke out between cities or nations.” Twenty thousand Jews massacred in an hour, a Roman army routed by knife-wielding rebel factions, civil wars, multiple emperors, plague, famine, and cities razed to ash — all contributed to a monumental aggregation of death, destruction, and diaspora that would shock much of the ancient world. During the siege of Jerusalem alone, an estimated 1.1 million people would lose their lives, and many more would be forced into slavery or brutally executed en masse after the fall of the city.

The Jewish War was born out of a repudiation of severe Roman taxation by a largely impoverished, politically-unrepresented, and idealisticallyfragmented Jewish population. In 66 CE, the procurator Florus demanded 17 talents, or 51,000 shekels, from the Temple of Jerusalem, causing immense outrage and rebellion. After several failed attempts to quell discontent, the Temple priests banned all sacrifices for non-Jews, and a ragtag group of knife-wielding sicarii murdered an entire garrison at Masada. In retaliation, the Roman government organized the execution of twenty thousand Jews in one hour in the city of Caesarea — just one example of many acts of violence made in quick succession. The foundation for a costly and epic eight-year war had been set, which would ultimately push Jewish civilization to the brink of destruction.

Despite the all-encompassing turmoil on both sides and the civil struggle that enveloped the different Jewish factions during the war, the Jewish silver coinage produced up until Jerusalem’s destruction was remarkably consistent and of high quality. David Hendin, one of the leading scholars of Biblical and Ancient Judean coins, remarks that these silver coins were “uniform in weight, purity, shape, and striking” and that the engraving of the dies was the “best in the history of Judaea.” Even aside from excellent production standards upheld during this period, this was a watershed era of autonomy in the history of Jewish coinage as “neither the Selucids nor the Romans had previously allowed the Jews to issue silver coins.” Like the bronze issues of this time (which were struck by a separate and more radical political party), these coins celebrated Jewish independence, giving life to the dream of a Judaea freed from the oppression of foreign conquerors.

THE BAR KOCHBA REVOLT

Though the full extent of its causes are debated, what is certain is that the Bar Kokhba Revolt of 132-135 CE was bloody and devastating. Hadrian made a brief visit to Judaea circa 130 CE, during his second great provincial tour of 129-132 CE. Prior to his arrival, rumors spread among the Jews that he intended to rebuild Jerusalem and the great Temple, destroyed during the Jewish War of 66-73 CE, so he was at first warmly welcomed. However, according to the Roman historian Cassius Dio, Hadrian decided to rebuild the city as the Roman veteran colony of Aelia Capitolina, with a temple to Jupiter replacing the one once dedicated to Jehovah. It is also claimed in the Historia Augusta that Hadrian made circumcision a capital offense, although Cassius Dio does not mention this law. A combination of one or both of these factors likely sparked the revolt, which decimated the province of Judaea and darkened Hadrian’s final years.

Led by the military leader Simon ben Kosiba (known as Simon bar Kokhba), a brave and harshly meticulous general, Dio writes that the Judaean forces literally fought underground, “occupy[ing] the advantageous positions in the country and strengthen[ing] them with mines and walls so that they would have places of refuge when hard pressed and could communicate with one another unobserved underground; and they pierced these subterranean passages from above at intervals to let in air and light.” Though these tactics were effective in causing great expense to the Roman Empire, particularly as “many Romans...perished in this war,” they were ultimately not enough to avert disaster. “Very few of [the Jews] in fact survived. Fifty of their most important outposts and nine hundred and eighty-five of their most famous villages were razed to the ground. Five hundred and eighty thousand men were slain in the various raids and battles, and the number of those that perished by famine, disease, and fire was past finding out.” Throughout the failed rebellion, the city remained under Roman control and served as a base of operations for the Sixth and Tenth Legions. Aelia Capitolina remained the city’s official name through the end of the Roman and Byzantine era, although Christians and Jews continued to call it Jerusalem. Jews were banned from entering the city except for one day a year, Tisha B’Av, when they were allowed to mourn at the Western Wall. The mint of Aelia Capitolina produced bronze coins until the brief reign of Hostilian (251 CE).

As David Hendin notes, Bar Kokhba’s historically important coins would mark an end to the minting of Jewish coins in antiquity. Though there was absolutely no financial incentive for the Jews to strike their own coins during the revolt as all of the Bar Kokhba coinage was overstruck on a motley mix of coins already in circulation, Judaean coinage from this period played an integral role in the dissemination of political propaganda. As Meshorer notes: “Not only did [Bar Kokhba] deface the portraits of despised emperors by this technique [of overstriking], he was also able to depict Jewish symbols and nationalistic inscriptions.” Coins were struck with hopeful slogans, such as: “Jerusalem” and “For the freedom of Jerusalem.” Though these coins were useful for the morale of the rebellion, they still marked a period of extreme economic chaos for the Jewish fighters. They “neither controlled an already established mint, nor possessed a city large enough to support a new one.” The lack of consistency this caused was evident, as “the difference in weight between coins that are ostensibly of the same denomination [could] reach 200%.” This resulted in coins of often unique variety, both material and historical.

I suggest that BACCHIVS IVDAEVS is not only half-playful, but tauntingly mean and mischievous as well. There are numerous suggestions that many Romans and Greeks believed the ancient Jewish religion to be a cult of Dionysus, the popular god of grapes and winemaking, feasting, drunken behavior, and ecstasy. Josephus does not discuss any aspects of Bacchus and the Jews, but he mentions that Herod I presented a golden vine to the Temple. It was used to hang donatives of golden grapes and vine leaves and the vine was said to be part of the booty taken to Rome by Titus. Among the important prayers in Judaism, both ancient and modern, are those prayers that call upon the monotheistic God to bless “the fruit of the vine.” Grapes were also one of the seven species listed in Deuteronomy 8:8 as special products of the ancient Land of Israel. The relationship the Greeks and Romans fantasized to exist between the Jews and Dionysus may also be related to the traditional mythology that Dionysus was the son of Semele, “who was the daughter of Cadmus, who, being a Phoenician, was a Semite who spoke a language closely akin to Hebrew.” (GBC p. 367)

The main Judaea Capta coinage was a series of imperial issues struck in gold, silver, and bronze, and provincial issues struck in silver and bronze, to celebrate the Roman defeat of Judaea, the capture of Jerusalem, and the destruction of the Jewish Second Temple during the First Jewish War (66-73 CE). Generally, the reverse of this coinage shows a Jewish female seated in an attitude of mourning beneath a palm tree. Sometimes a bound male captive, or the figure of the victorious emperor or Victory, is found standing on the other side amid weapons, shields, and helmets. While some gold and silver coins bear no legend on the reverse, most issues are inscribed IVDAEA CAPTA, IVDAEA DEVICTA, or simply IVDAEA. The imperial coins were struck for only Vespasian and Titus. Provincial drachms were minted in Asia Minor for Titus (who oversaw the capture of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple). The provincial bronze coinage for Titus and Domitian (who did not participate in any of the actions, but was included by familial association) was struck in Judaea by the Roman administration at Caesarea Maritima and even by the Romanized Jewish ruler, Agrippa II, who was a friend of Titus and his supporter during the war.
