Governors of Judaea AE Prutah Pontius Pilate (26-36 AD) VG NGC
This ancient bronze prutah, minted in Judaea between 26 and 36 AD, offers a direct connection to a transformative era. Struck during the administration of the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, this coin circulated during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. Its presence in daily commerce means it was in active use during the lifetime of Jesus Christ, making it an extraordinary artifact of the ancient world. The design of this modest copper-alloy coin features distinct imagery on both sides. The obverse displays ears of grain alongside a date, all enclosed within a decorative wreath. On the reverse, viewers can discern a simpulum and a lituus, which are traditional Roman ritual implements. Certified in Very Good condition, this small bronze piece survives as a tangible survivor of first-century Judean life.
