A bronze prutah of Valerius Gratus, procurator of Judea under Tiberius
Obv.: Vine branch; above it, Greek inscription [TIB]EPIOY (of Tiberius). Rev.: Kantharos with two handles and lid; across field, the date L Δ (year four). above it, the inscription [KAICAROC] (of the Caesar). 17 C.E, 1.62 grams, 16¾ mm, axis 6. Cf. Ya’akov Meshorer, A Treasury of Jewish Coins (New York 2001), pl. 74, no. 325. Herod’s son who ruled in Jerusalem, Archelaus, was incompetent so the Romans appointed governors, termed procurators. Most of them, with the exception of Pontius Pilate, respected Jewish religious sensitivities and struck coins with neutral motifs, drawn largely from the seven agricultural species of Israel.
