Why This Coin Matters

Herod the Great was one of the most influential—and controversial—rulers of the ancient world. Appointed King of Judaea by the Roman Senate, he ruled from 40 to 4 BC, transforming his kingdom through some of the greatest building projects of antiquity.

Herod rebuilt and dramatically expanded the Second Temple in Jerusalem, creating one of the wonders of the ancient world. Today, the Western Wall remains the most recognizable surviving portion of that monumental project. He also constructed the fortress of Masada, the palace-fortress of Herodium, the magnificent port city of Caesarea Maritima, and numerous palaces and fortifications throughout Judaea.

The New Testament identifies Herod as the king who ruled when Jesus was born. According to the Gospel of Matthew, he ordered the Massacre of the Innocents after learning of the birth of the "King of the Jews," making him one of the Bible's most infamous rulers. While historians continue to discuss aspects of that account, Herod's reputation for political brutality is well established. He executed rivals, members of his own family, and anyone he believed threatened his throne.

This authentic high-grade bronze prutah circulated during one of the most significant periods in Biblical and Roman history—a time when the world of the Old Testament was giving way to that of the New.
