The paper deals with civic coinages in the Southern Levant during and after the first Jewish revolt. It traces the increase of mint output and looks at the coin iconography. The impact of the Judaea Capta coins on the local coinages has long been recognized, but this paper discusses less explicit reflections of the revolt. Some of the coinages evok...

... last notable phase of coin production was under Claudius (41-54 CE). Then, right at the beginning of the fighting, several communities started to mint coins, as can be seen in Table 1, which is arranged according to coin types. The table does not document quantities, but the number of types at least provides an idea of the general trend. ...Similar publications

We perform classification of ancient Roman Republican coins via recognizing their reverse motifs where various objects, faces, scenes, animals, and buildings are minted along with legends. Most of these coins are eroded due to their age and varying degrees of preservation, thereby affecting their informative attributes for visual recognition. Chang...
A puzzling plated republican denarius was found decades ago in the civil town of Aquincum. Due to its
worn state its identification was troublesome, but it turned out to be an imitation of M. Furius’ coin minted
in 119 BC. It is unique for Aquincum, and also quite rare in Pannonia, which raises a number of questions.
Even more perplexing are the tw...
This paper is the initial publication of the 107 coins found in the first twenty years of survey and excavation by the Helike Project in the alluvial plain east of Aigion that was home to the celebrated city of ancient Helike. The coins, almost all of them bronzes, were found in several different locations across the plain and range in date from th...

... 81 This outwardly unremarkable history nevertheless involves historical events and dynamics directly shaped by Jerash's situation between the Mediterranean and the Arabian macroregions. Amongst them are the Hellenistic origins of the urban settlement, its likely occupation by the Nabatean kingdom, 82 the conquest by Roman (63 BCE), Palmyrene (270 CE), Sasanian (614 CE) and Arab (636 CE) armies, the turmoils of the Jewish War (66)(67)(68)(69)(70), 83 and the patronage and investment offered by Roman, Umayyad 75 and much later Mamluk authorities, 84 as well as the city's integration into Christian networks in Late Antiquity, 85 and later into the Islamic world. The outcomes of these encounters between imperial agencies and local responses are represented in the archaeological, architectural and epigraphic records of Jerash, 86 and might reflect back on our understanding of macroregional development. ...
Combining global perspectives with localized case studies and integrating scientific and material evidence of environmental change in historical narratives are amongst the main challenges for the field of global history in addressing the dawn of the Anthropocene. In this article, we trace the relationship of the city of Gerasa (Jerash, Jordan) with its riverine hinterland, from the first millennium BCE until the nineteenth century CE. We argue that the study of long-term historical trajectories of microregions not only depends on context from regional and global history timelines, but also has the potential to provide insights relevant to those scales in return. Zooming in and scaling up must go hand in hand in order for global history perspectives to be properly informed, and archaeology and natural sciences have crucial insights to offer – although importantly only when evidence comes from well-contextualized frameworks.
... The First Jewish Revolt (66-70 CE) was a period that brought considerable turmoil to the Decapolis (Lichtenberger, 2018). Josephus reports conflicts between the pagan citizens of the cities and their Jewish compatriots (Jos. ...
