The Coins of Khirbet el-‘Aqd: A Hellenistic-Roman Stronghold in Western Judea

Abstract

This paper discusses 104 coins retrieved during the archaeological excavations at Khirbet el-
‘Aqd in the 1970s and 1980s. The numismatic finds include coins from surveys, trial probes and
mostly systematic archaeological excavations carried out by the then Archaeological Division
of the Department of Classics of Tel Aviv University. The coin finds are discussed against the
backdrop of the site’s history and archaeological remains.
