Coins from Cliff Shelters and Hiding Complexes in Galilee and their Historical and Archaeological Significance

Abstract

Seventeen coins were found during a survey to document cliff shelters and hiding complexes,
carried out in eastern Galilee in 2005–2009. The inaccessibility of the cliff shelters is an
indication that the coins arrived there at a time of distress and crisis. These coins are presented
and the historical circumstances under which they reached the cliff shelters and hiding
complexes are proposed.
