Roman Provincial: Judea-Caesarea
The following
pieces are very similar to coins minted at Egypt-Alexandria and are often
misattributed to that mint. The article "Minute
Coins of Caesarea" by H. Hamburger published in 'ATIQOT - Journal
of The Israel Dept. of Antiquities, Volume I, Jerusalem, 1955, pp.
115-138 is the reference used to attribute these small coins. My sincere thanks
to Kerry Wetterstrom for providing a copy of the article.
