JUD_Herod_Archelaus_Hendin_1197.jpg
Judaea. Herod II Archelaus (4 B.C.-6 A.D.), Ethnarch of Samaria, Judea, and Idumea.Hendin (4th ed.) 506 (5th ed.) 1197, Meshorer TJC 72, Meshorer AJC II, 240, 5.

AE Half prutah, 1.07 g., 13.56 mm. max., 180°.

Obv: Prow of war galley facing left, HPω (for HPωΔΟY).

Rev: EΘN (Ethnarch), surrounded by wreath.

The galley refers to Archelaus' voyage to Rome at the beginning of his reign. His father had modified his will, naming Archelaus' younger brother, Antipas, king. Archelaus appealed to Rome and was awarded a large share of the kingdom and the title ethnarch. The galley reminded those that thought to challenge him that he had the backing of Rome (per AJC).

Rev: Crested helmet with two cheek straps, small caduceus and counterclockwise and retrograde inscription ΕΘΝΑΡΧΟΥ (Ethnarch, with the A missing) below.

Note: A faint X appears to be visible toward the right side of the legend. If this is so, it suggests that this coin might be a variety with a shortened legend, i.e., Meshorer TJC 73a (ΕΘΝΑΡΧΟ) or 73c (ΕΘΝΑΧΟ). The position of the X further suggests that the legend is not written counterclockwise, although this is not recorded in either Hendin or Meshorer TJC.

Rev.: Double cornucopia adorned with ribbons.

Meshorer wrote of the cursive style on this type, "The letters appear is if they were written with pen and ink. They are schematic, elongated, oblique, and very small. Some are so minute as to be little more than points. Although small, the shapes of the letters are simple and quite legible. The inscription is mostly complete and contains no errors."

Yehonatan Kohen Gadol v’Hever h’Yehudim = Yehonatan [the] High Priest and the Council of the Jews.

Rev.: Double cornucopia adorned with ribbons.

Meshorer notes that the legend on Hendin 1144/TJC Group Q coins contain many errors. On this coin the legend errors are: (1) KH/כה instead of KHN/כהן; and (2) YHYM/יהימ instead of YHWDYM/יהודימ. Meshorer also notes that the article H/ה (= the) is often missing. On this coin it is missing before KHN/כהן.

This coin has the following affinities with pre-Jannaeus types, which suggests that it was issued very early during the priesthood of Jannaeus: (1) The letter He = H/ה in the second line and in its first appearance in the fourth line is in the old style, which is typically found on Hendin 1139/TJC Group E coins issued by John Hyrcanus I (134-104 B.C.E.), but is perhaps unrecorded on the coins of Jannaeus; (2) The style of the letter Resh = R/ר is open, which is typical of Hendin 1142/TJC Group V coins issued by Judah Aristobulus I (104-103 B.C.E.); and (3) The word GDL/גדל is written GDWL/גדול, a spelling typical of Hendin 1143/TJC Group U issued by Aristobulus, and also recorded on the majority of legend variations of Hendin 1444/TJC Group Q coins.

Note: Minted either on the initiative of Antiochus VII as a conciliatory gesture to the Jews or by John Hyrcanus I himself, in honor of the Seleucid monarch, as an act of good will and appeasement (per Meshorer TJC p. 31).
