Mattatayah Antigonus, the ambitious son of Aristobulus II, led several futile Jewish rebellions against the Romans during his father's imprisonment, only increasing Rome's suspicions of independence-minded Jews. In 43 B.C., the murder of Antipater, the chief supporter of his Roman-aligned uncle, Hyrcanus II, led Antigonus launch a last attempt to seize control of Judea. He was defeated in battle by Antipater's younger son, Herod. But Antigonus allied himself with the Parthians, who were challenging Rome for control of Syria and Palestine. . "[Antigonus] promised [to Parthia] one thousand talents and five hundred women to dispose of Hyrcanus and give the throne to [him] ." Proclaiming Antigonus king, a Parthian force took Jerusalem in 40 B.C., deposed Hyrcanus from power and held Herod's older brother, Phasael, hostage. Herod, however, escaped and rallied Roman support. After the Parthians were defeated by Marc Antony, Antigonus was eventually captured by Herod in 37 B.C., and delivered to the Romans at Antioch, where he was executed, thus marking the transition from the end of the Maccabean Dynasty and the beginning of the Herodian.
How many hands have touched a coin in your pocket or your purse? What eras and lands have the coin traversed on its journey into our possession? As we reach into our pockets to pull out some change, we rarely hesitate to think of who touched the coin before us, or where the coin will venture to after us. More than money, coins are a symbol of the state that struck them, of a specific time and place, whether contemporary currencies or artifacts of long forgotten empires. This stunning hand-struck coin reveals an expertise of craftsmanship and intricate sculptural details that are often lacking in contemporary machine-made currencies. The struggle of Jewish independence, as represented by this coin, has in modern times finally come to an end. This coin reconnects us with the past, with those who fought and struggled for their freedom against an oppressive empire over two thousand year ago. - (C.7853) « Less

Herod the Great ruled Judea from 37-4 B.C. He was a superb military leader who secured control of the region under the graces of Rome. A skilled builder, Herod completely remodeled the Jerusalem Temple, designed Caesarea and other cities, and built palaces at Jerusalem, Masada, and other places. Although other rulers might be remembered foremost for these building ruins, Herod is most often associated with being King during the time of Jesus Christ’s birth. Jewish and Christian traditions portray Herod as a tyrant, primarily for over-taxation and ordering the Massacre of the Innocents. However, it is unlikely that such an event ever took place considering that such an order would have required the explicit approval of Rome and that Rome would not support an order likely to incite rebellion and revolt. This prophetic myth instead reflects Herod’s obsessive paranoia and fear of conspirators that often afflicts those in possession of great power.

Herod Archelaus was the son of King Herod the Great and his wife Malthace. Upon Herod’s death in 4 B.C., his kingdom was divided amongst his sons Archelaus, Herod Antipas, and Philip with Archelaus receiving the largest portion to govern under the title ethnarch, or “national leader.†However, immediately after his accession, things went horribly wrong. Just before his death, Herod the Great sentenced two popular teachers, Judas and Mathias (as well as their students), to be burned alive for inciting their pupils to remove the golden eagle from the entrance to the Temple. An angry mob greeted the new leader, Archelaus, demanding justice for these martyrs. In order to quell this protest, Archelaus had over three thousand Jews murdered. Once calm was seemingly restored, Archelaus ventured off to Rome to have himself crowned by Augustus. During his absence, a new series of new riots were initiated by a series of messianic Jewish leaders, among them Athronges. Herod’s soldiers were unable to deal with the rebellion and reinforcements were called in from Roman- governed Syria. In the end, the rioting ceased after much more bloodshed. Herod Archelaus was such a bad leader that the citizens of Samaria and Judea jointly appealed to Rome to appoint a new leader. There request was granted and Archelaus was banished to Gaul, ending another bloody chapter in the history of ancient Israel.
