Judean Coins Unearthed in Spain: First Century BCE to First Century CE

Abstract

This author’s research has expanded the publicly known number of Judean coins provenanced in Spain and minted between 104 BCE and 67/8 CE to 38 coins. They were found at nine different Roman sites. Twenty-two of these coins now reside in prestigious Spanish museums, while the current dispositions of the other sixteen remain unknown. Their presence and other related historical sources help adduce support that Judeans were present in Hispania during that period.
