This volume presents a die study of the provincial silver coinage of Judah in the late Persian, Macedonian, and early Hellenistic periods. It offers correct descriptions of the coins, their designs, and their inscriptions; enumerates the obverse and reverse dies identified for each of the 44 recorded types; and explains the probable sequence of the issues as deduced from iconographic associations and die links.The iconography of the coin types is examined in depth, with comparisons to motifs in Greek, Persian, and ancient Near Eastern art, including other local coinages and sources in Judahite material culture. The monograph also analyses data relating to the metrology, metal content, and circulation of the coinage. Overall, the study attempts to place the Yehud coinage in its historical context and to define its role in the economy of the ancient province of Judah.

This two-volume monograph, A Corpus of Samarian Coinage from the Persian Period, is the definitive culmination of a major research program focused on the Samarian minting authority during the Persian period. This coinage represents one of the earliest and most varied official coinages produced in the southern Levant, likely being issued from the late fifth century BCE until after the Greco-Macedonian conquest.While building on earlier scholarship, this work offers a substantive re-evaluation of the field. It incorporates numerous newly identified coin types and establishes a robust, modern classification system essential for all future study. The data is based on an exhaustive, multi-year study of the entire corpus of known Samarian issues, involving the global examination of specimens in publications and in public and private collections.Volume I: Studies in Samarian Coinage provides historical and analytical framework and the crucial context for understanding this coinage within the socio-cultural and geopolitical environment of the Persian-period Levant. A comprehensive Appendix details the archaeometallurgical investigation (in collaboration with Dana Ashkenazi and Maayan Cohen), featuring the extensive results of hundreds of SEM-EDS analyses.Volume II: Catalogue of Samarian Coin Types presents the most significant numismatic contribution: a vastly expanded new typology and repertoire of Samarian issues organized into a new, authoritative typology. This critical classification system is divided into seven comprehensive categories to clarify the mint’s output and chronology.A Corpus of Samarian Coinage is indispensable for academics—archaeologists, historians, and numismatic researchers—as well as collectors and auction houses. The fully updated and revised analysis provides a powerful and essential tool for assessing the circulation and wider implications of this pivotal coinage in the ancient Levant.
