(pp. 127–131)
Gabriela Bijovsky
Keywords: Akko-Ptolemais mint, Antiochus IV, Seleucid period
Twenty-one coins were discovered in Area B at Horbat Nazur. Most of them date to the Hellenistic period. One coin (No. 13) features Antiochus IV on the obverse and a seated female goddess(?) on the reverse. Several coins of this type were found throughout the country, pointing to a local mint. Two provenances were previously offered for this type: Jerusalem and the Israel west bank. In this article it is suggested that this coin-type was minted at ‘Akko-Ptolemais.
