Biblical Coins – Judea 2000 years ago was a melting pot of Race, Religion & Revolt. The proud Jewish population struggled with powerful neighbours and the invading Roman Army with their imposed Procurators, and with threats and changes to religion and traditions. Names, places and events still sound familiar to us today after countless generations, and many of these are echoed in surviving coinage, for example Pontius Pilate, Herod the Great and the story of the Poor Widow’s mite….
