JUDAEA, Procurators. Valerius Gratus. A.D. 15-26. Bronze Prutah (1.98g). In the names of Tiberius and Julia Augusta (Livia). Jerusalem mint. Dated RY 5 of Tiberius (A.D. 18/9). TIB/KAI/CAP in three lines within wreath / Palm frond; IOYLIA and L (E) (date) across field. Meshorer 328; Hendin 6368; RPC I 4965. VF. Exceptional for this very difficult issue. This prutah is more than a modest bronze; it is a concise record of Rome's rule in Judaea. Struck under the governor Valerius Gratus in honour of Julia Augusta (Livia), it circulated in a province where Roman power was tolerated more than welcomed, serving as both small change and a daily reminder of imperial presence. In this well-preserved state, it offers a rare, tangible glimpse into early imperial policy and provincial tension. |
