Keywords: numismatics, Lower Galilee, Southern Levant, Seleucid, Judea
Some 16 coins were found in the excavation of Ḥorbat ‘Ofrat, 14 of which were identified. The coins date from the Hellenistic, Byzantine and Mamluk periods. Of interest are two coins: a coin of Demetrius III from the mint of Damascus, probably reflecting the king’s presence in the northern part of the country, and an issue of Commodus from the mint of Adraa in the Decapolis.
