The Coins from Khirbat Deiran, Rehovot
(pp. 65*–68*)
Robert Kool
Keywords: Shephelah, numismatics
Twenty coins were found in the excavations at Khirbat Deiran, Rehovot, originating from two strata (II–I). Most of the numismatic evidence dates to a single chronological unit, beginning with pre-reform folles (fourth–fifth centuries CE), followed by post-reform folles (sixth–early seventh centuries CE) and ending with fulūs from the Umayyad period (late seventh–eighth centuries CE) through the Abbasid period. Two coins—a Roman Provincial bronze and a Mamluk
fals
—are an exception in this assemblage.
