Description: 1 genuine ancient coin preserved in a beautifully handcrafted display case! Hey there! My name is Chad, and I'm on an incredible journey through biblical studies with a focus on apologetics at Liberty University. When I'm not immersed in my studies, I enjoy the fascinating hobby of ancient coin collecting. Today, I am thrilled to present to you a stunning collection of ancient coins that are bound to ignite captivating conversations at home or in the office. Each coin comes with a detailed description and intriguing historical facts, serving as an engaging reference for all. Every display case is meticulously made by hand ensuring that each unit is truly one-of-a-kind. I have personally sourced each and every coin from reputable dealer venues in Israel for my personal collection, and now I am ecstatic to share them with you! Let's go start some conversations today! Like much of Pilate’s coinage, the coin’s obverse depicts a lituus, a wooden staff commonly employed by priests in pagan rituals. Unlike other Roman provincial coinage, prutah never bore the image of any person or animal, respecting the local prohibition against graven images. Even so, the choice of the lituus may have been Pilate’s attempt to promote Roman sensibilities among the locals. These prutahs also bore the epithet TIBEPIOY KAICAPOC, a reminder they were the coins of Emperor Tiberius. Regardless of one’s specific religious beliefs, there is no denying fascination with the time and locale wherein this coin circulated. In addition to their usual military and fiduciary (i.e., tax collecting) roles, prefects also served judicial responsibilities. As such, Pontius Pilate was responsible for presiding over trials and doling out punishments for state criminals. In the year 30 AD, by concord among modern experts, he conducted perhaps the most infamous trial in history, that of Jesus of Nazareth. According to gospel accounts, Pilate mollified his subjects by condemning Jesus to crucifixion, the requisite capital punishment of the time.
