In 40 BCE, at the head of a Parthian army, Mattathias II Antigonus drove Herod the Great and his puppet, the Hasmonaean ethnarch, John Hyrcanus II, out of Jerusalem and was proclaimed king and High Priest by the Parthians and his Jewish supporters. Unfortunately, the wily Herod was not so easily defeated and returned in 39 BCE armed with recognition as the Roman client-king of Judaea. The hapless Mattathias II was ultimately defeated and crucified for his troubles, leaving Judaea to begin a new period in its troubled history under the often hated Herodian dynasty.

Lot 3104		Judaea, Herodian Kingdom. Herod of Chalcis. Æ25 (15.72 g), 43/4 CE. RY 3 (43/4 CE), BASI?EYS HPO?HS FILOK?AY?IOS, diademed head of Herod of Chalcis right.

Attractive dark brown patina with some greenish highlights. Very Rare. One of the most important rarities in the Judaean series. Very Fine. Estimate Value $7,500 - UP From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. In A.D. 41 the Judaean King Herod Agrippa petitioned the emperor Claudius to appoint his younger brother, also named Herod, king of Chalcis, in Coele-Syria. Claudius granted the request, and because of his kingship, this Herod is familiarly known as Herod of Chalcis. The fact that a Herodian was appointed king in a non-Jewish land well north of Judaea shows the depth of support that Claudius offered this family. The Herodians showed their gratitude in many ways, including with coin designs intended to flatter their imperial benefactor. On this rare bronze, the portrait of Herod of Chalcis is accompanied by an inscription that describes himself as a "friend of Claudius" or as "one with whom Claudius is friendly." Similarly, the reverse inscription "for Claudius Caesar Augustus" is dedicated to the emperor in Rome; the date, year three, at the end of the inscription indicates it was struck in A.D. 43/4. When Herod Agrippa died in A.D. 44, his younger brother's authority was enlarged: Claudius granted Herod of Chalcis superintendence over the Temple in Jerusalem, which earlier had fallen under his brother's jurisdiction. This included authority over the Temple Treasury and the responsibility of appointing chief priests. However, Herod of Chalcis continued to perform his duties until his own death about four years later. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $5,280

Estimate Value $400 - 500 From the Dr. Patrick Tan Collection. The bronze eighth denomination of the fourth year (April 69-March 70 CE) of the Jewish War is remarkable for its use of the pearled chalice type on the reverse when this had previously been reserved for silver shekels and fractions. It may signal that this denomination, although unmarked, was intended as a token representing a value in silver. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $336
Lot 3112		Judaea, Bar Kokhba Revolt. Silver Sela (13.81 g), 132-135 CE. Irregular issue. Year 1 (132/3 CE).

'Year one of the redemption of Israel' (Paleo-Hebrew), lulav with etrog at left. Hendin 1373a (this coin); Mildenberg -; TJC 218e. Extremely Rare - unique and perhaps a trial strike.

The Bar Kokhba War (132-135 CE) broke out when Hadrian decided to refound Jerusalem - still largely ruined from the disastrous Jewish Revolt (66-73 CE) - as the pagan city of Aelia Capitolina. Although Jewish discontent had already erupted into violence in the Diaspora during the reign of Trajan, the Jews of Judaea seem not to have risen up against the Romans until this threatened abomination against the site of the Temple and the surrounding Holy City. The leader of this new rebellion, which took the form of a bloody guerilla war, was a certain Simon bar Kokhba who had messianic pretensions and gained a reputation as a great warrior. Unfortunately, although Bar Kokhba managed to make Hadrian pay dearly for Aelia Capitolina, when the emperor assembled an army of six full legions to invade Judaea in 134 CE the rebellion was soon crushed. In punishment almost the entirety of Judaea was laid waste by the victorious Romans and the Jewish population destroyed or driven out. In order to fund the rebellion, Bar Kokhba and his supporters used what circulating coins they could find or capture from the Romans and restruck them with new types more suitable for their revolutionary purposes. The most remarkable and desirable of the new types were used for the silver sela overstruck primarily on Syrian and Phoenician tetradrachms. The obverse features a depiction of the façade of the Jerusalem Temple with an uncertain object inside, which has been variously interpreted as the show bread table or the Ark of the Covenant. It has been suggested that the Bar Kokhba rebels actually intended to rebuild the Temple, but the presence of either the show bread table or the Ark - items lost at the end of the Jewish Revolt or earlier - seems to imply that the image represents the idea of the Temple to rally support rather than any real edifice planned by the Bar Kokhba rebels. The reverse type looks back to the coinage of the Jewish Revolt in its depiction of the lulav and etrog associated with the Festival of Tabernacles. View details and enlarged photos	Realized $4,800
Lot 3113		Judaea, Bar Kokhba Revolt. Æ Medium Bronze (11.81 g). 132-135 CE. Year 1 (132/3 CE). 'Simon, Prince of Israel' (Paleo-Hebrew), seven-branched palm tree with two bunches of dates.

Lot 3114		Judaea, Bar Kokhba Revolt. Silver Zuz (2.85 g), 132-135 CE. Year 2 (133/4 CE). 'Simon', bunch of grapes with leaf and tendril. Reverse: 'Year two of the freedom of Israel' (Paleo-Hebrew), elongated lyre with three strings. Hendin 1396; Mildenberg 47.14 (O8/R27; this coin); TJC 242. The Mildenberg plate coin. Undertype of a Bostran drachm of Trajan visible on both sides. Lightly toned. Very Fine. Estimate Value $700 - 800 The Brody Family Collection; Purchased privately, April 1987. The zuz of the second year (133/4 CE) of the Bar Kokhba War depict the kinnor, a lyre-like instrument played during worship in the Jerusalem Temple before its destruction. Indeed, the Mishna tells us that the minimum number of kinnorim to be played in the Temple was nine, but there was no maximum limit. This musical allusion to the religious services in the Temple is in keeping with the symbolic program of the Bar Kokhba War coinage, which depicts the façade of the Temple as well as other objects associated with religious observances and Jewish festivals.
