DAVID HENDIN - Money in Judea: Bronze Age to Bar Kokhba

How did money work before the invention of coinage? And what happened when coins suddenly arrived on the scene? Come and explore the history of money in ancient Judea with renouned numismatic expert, David Hendin. Before coins existed, exchanges took place using metals of various standards, which market traders weighed using ancient scale weights in a range of shapes. Coins were introduced to ancient Israel gradually from the seventh century BC onwards — with local issues appearing during the Persian period. The Jerusalem mint became the source of coinage of Antiochus VII, going on to produce coins for the Hasmoneans, Herodians, and Prefects and Procurators of Judaea, as well as through the Jewish War. Judean coins were also struck during the Bar Kokhba revolt, but not in Jerusalem. David Hendin is author of Guide to Biblical Coins 6th Edition, Ancient Scale Weights and Pre-Coinage Currency, and 15 other books. Hendin is first Vice President and Honorary Curator of the American Numismatic Society, which granted him the ANS Trustees Award in 2022. He has participated in fieldwork at Sepphoris in 1985, 1986, and 2011 with Duke/Hebrew Universities.
