The Coins from Ḥorbat Sahar
(Pp. 427–431)
Helena Sokolov and Lior Sandberg
Keywords: Galilee, numismatics, Elagabalus, Abila
The coin finds retrieved from the excavation areas at Ḥorbat Sahar range in date from the Roman to the Mamluk periods, partially aligning with the settlement periods identified at the site. A bronze coin of Elagabalus, struck in Abila, depicts on its reverse a sanctuary with a hexastyle facade flanked by two towers with a large altar in the center. This is an important addition to our limited knowledge of this coin-type’s circulation in sites west of the Jordan River.
