- Sources of coins shown -

.

The list hereafter is exhaustive. However, many coins found in these sources are still to be added (each coin picture added on this website takes around 30 minutes of work in research, picture preparation and classification). In fact, only the sections dedicated to Yehud, Antigonus, Herod the Great, Antipas, Agrippa I, Herod of Chalcis, First Revolt and to the Bar Kochba large bronzes are strictly updated.
