Judaea Prutah Herodian Kingdom. Agrippa I (37-44 CE). Jerusalem (No reserve price)
The Herodian Kingdom under Agrippa I, who reigned from 37 to 44 CE, produced Prutah coins minted in Jerusalem that highlight the complex political and cultural situation in early first-century Judaea. Agrippa I was a client king allied closely with Rome, notable for his political acumen and involvement in biblical narratives. His coinage, such as the Prutah denomination, blends Roman imperial influence with Jewish themes. The coins issued during his reign often bear inscriptions in Greek or Hebrew and imagery that carefully balances local identity and allegiance to Rome. These pieces offer rich material for understanding the intersection of politics, religion, and economy in Judea during the early Roman Imperial period.
