The earliest descriptions in the numismatic literature describe this object as a poppyhead, but more recently opinion has shifted in favor of a pomegranate fruit. The arguments in favor of either identification are examined and the criteria resorted to by their respective proponents explained. At the same time a comparative evaluation is made of these species in Greco-Roman iconography along with their symbolic meaning. It is shown that both alternative identifications—a poppyhead and a pomegranate fruit—sit squarely with the message that the Hasmonaean authors of the composite motif wished to convey.

MC‐ICP‐MS analyses of tin isotopes in Roman‐era bronze coins reveal temporal and spatial variation

Because of ore field variation and potential fractionation during ore reduction, attempts to determine artefacts' ore sources have been limited. After norming the fractionations to NIST 3161a (Lot #070330), significant differences in Sn isotope mass fractionation in Judaean bronze 'Biblical' coins minted by different rulers during the first centuries BCE and CE were discovered. These variations and those in δ 65 Cu and 206 Pb/ 204 Pb are connected to historical events in the Levant.
