Abstract

During the reordering of the Numismatic Collection of the Archaeological Museum of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum (Jerusalem) photographs of 22 aurei of the Roman empire were found, most likely originating from an area between the West bank , Upper Galilee and the Golan. The different usage of these coins and the their chronology suggests that this is a unique discovery. It confirms the increased availability of gold coins in the middle of the second century and suggests that the aureus was not only a money of account as mentioned in the sources of Talmud and Mishna, but was also widely used as an effective currency. These coins are probably the first known example of savings buried in a not particularly turbulent period in the Palestinian region between the empires of Antonius Pius and the beginning of that of Marcus Aurelius.
