Year: 2007
Publication: Tese de Doutorado
Keywords: Roman presence in Palestine; Roman interaction with local populations; coin iconography, local issues; coin types
Abstract: Our aim in this work was to study the imagery of the local issues of the twenty-three minting cities of Palestine from the 2nd century BC to the 2nd century AD, in order to understand to what extent the typology of these local issues reveals political self-assertion and/or opposition to Roman domination on the part of the local populations, and aspects of the political use of coinage by the Romans. It was also our aim, through the study of coins, to analyse the gradual influence that Roman civilisation established in the region of Palestine, as well as its relationship with the Greek and Hebrew cultures already present in the region. To this end we analysed the coins minted in the coastal cities: Akko (Ptolemais), Ascalon (Ashkelon), Caesarea Maritima, Dora (Dor) and Gaza; in the inland cities: Jerusalem (Aelia Capitolina), Scythopolis (Nysa, Beth-Shean, Beisan), Gaba, Gamala, Marisa (Maresha), Neapolis (Nablus, Shechem), Sebaste (Shomron, Samaria), Sepphoris (Zippori, Diocaesarea) and Tiberias (Tveriah); and in the cities of Transjordan: Bostra (Beser), Canatha (Kenath), Philadelphia (Rabbat Ammon), Gadara (Gader), Gerasa (Geresh), Hippos-Susita, Panias (Caesarea Philippi, Banias), Pella (Pehal) and Petra (Reqem), during the period indicated above; we sought to study in depth the textual sources and the existing literature; and finally we used the available methods of analysis for coin iconography in order to achieve the proposed objectives.

Title: Estruturas de poder e negociações na Judaea-Palaestina do século I AEC ao II EC - análise de moedas em contexto urbano
Year: 2022
Publication: Tese de doutorado
Keywords: Archaeology; Power and negotiation; Judaea-Palaestina; Roman Provincial Coins; Urban organisation
Abstract: This thesis seeks to understand the structures of power and negotiation observed in the urban organisation and in the production, circulation and coin iconography of the coinages of two cities of Judaea-Palaestina (Jerusalem/Aelia Capitolina and Caesarea Maritima) between the 1st century BCE and the 2nd century CE, in order to understand the aspects related to local negotiation in the face of the foundation/refoundation of these cities by Rome, considered crucial for understanding the possible patterns of political-administrative, socio-cultural and religious interaction between the Roman Empire and the local elites. The discourse of power represented on the coins and in the organisation of urban space is related to the legitimising element of the Roman presence in Judaea-Palaestina; the analyses in this research therefore draw on existing historical, archaeological and numismatic epistemologies to verify the persuasive intent observable in the archaeological record, associated with the socio-cultural context of the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE in the region.
