The Coins from Building 900 in the Southern Tyropoeon Valley
(pp. 339-349)
Donald T. Ariel and Gabriela Bijovsky
Keywords: City of David, Numismatics, hoard, Byzantine period, follis
Some 169 coins were retrieved from the excavation of Building 900 in the City of David, all of bronze or copper-alloy. Eight of the coins comprise a small hoard. The isolated coins range in date from the Hellenistic and Early Roman periods until the fourth century CE and probably represent residual finds. The hoard indicates that Building 900 was constructed in the Byzantine period, a date also supported by other finds at the site.
