Herod, ruler of Judea at a pivotal time (40 ?4 BCE) in the region ?s history, was Rome ?s most famous client king. In this volume, Herod ?s coinage benefits from a comprehensive reappraisal. The coins and dies have been thoroughly examined, resulting in innovative iconographic and technological interpretations. Study of the coins ? presence in hoards, their archaeological contexts and geographical distribution, together with other typological, epigraphic and numismatic observations, have aided in establishing that all of the types were minted in Jerusalem. A new relative chronology of Herod ?s dated and undated coins is the most important by-product of this study. Finally, an attempt is made to peg this seriation to known events within the king ?s reign.
