Scott, James M.: Bacchius Iudaeus

A Denarius Commemorating Pompey’s Victory over Judea. Scott's study argues that the oft-suggested connection between Aristobulus' gift of the golden vine (from the Temple) and the Bacchius Iudaeus denarius does seem to merit further investigation. To that end,he examines, first, Pompey's own agenda in having the coin minted. Second, Scott examines each element of the denarius in question, looking for clues as to the meaning of Bacchius Iudaeus. 169 Seiten mit 15 Abb., gebunden (Novum testamentum et orbis antiquus/Studien zur Umwelt des Neuen Testaments; Vol. 104/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2015) minimale Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
