After the destruction of the Second Temple, Diospolis-Lydda (Lod) saw an upswing in Jewish settlement and had become a predominately Jewish city by the 2nd century. When Septimius Severus visited in about A.D. 200, he refounded the city as ΛOYKIA CEΠTIMIA CEOYHPA ΔIOCΠOΛIC ("the city of Zeus named after Lucius Septimius Severus"). Before the appearance of this coin, only coins of Severus' wife, Julia Domna, as well as Caracalla, Geta and Elagabalus were known, but we should not be surprised that coins of the emperor who refounded the city were struck.
