COINS IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM:

I'm marking exams right now and I can feel my brain melting and starting to drip out my ears. So, for a distraction, I've been poking around on the British Museum's website. Here are some paleojudaic coins (photos and commentary) therein:

Bronze coin of Herod I 'the Great', king of Judaea

Bronze coin of Pontius Pilate, Procurator of Judaea

Silver shekel of the First Jewish Revolt from Rome

Silver shekel of the Second Jewish Revolt from Rome
