Description: Marcus Ambibulus, praefectus Iudaeae for Augustus | AE Prutah Reference: RPC I 4955; Meshorer 313; Hendin 1329 Date: 8-9 CE Obverse: ΚΑΙϹΑΡΟϹ; ear of barley Reverse: L ΛΘ (year 39 of Augustus' reign); palm tree with dates Mint: Jerusalem, Judea Size: 16.3 mm Weight: 2.04 grams A decent example of the procuratorial coinage of Roman Judaea. The design of these coins reflects accommodation of Jewish religious sensibilities. Likely in collaboration with Jerusalem's Jewish leadership, the Roman officials deviated from typical Roman coinage featuring the emperor's portrait. Instead, they displayed symbols like those found on this coin, the palm tree and an ear of grains. Both designs are reminiscent of earlier Hasmonean and Herodian designs.
