Gaza and Raphia under Commodus: Another Numismatic Connection

Abstract

A die link between Gaza and Raphia under Septimius Severus, the first known die link between
different cities in Roman Palestine, was published in 2008 by one of the authors (Farhi 2007–
2008). Later, the same author published another die link between Gaza and Raphia, this time
under Commodus (Farhi 2015:143). This article presents further die-linked specimens and
reveals new data regarding the numismatic connection between the two cities under Commodus.
