Abstract | New Testament commentators have often overlooked the relevance of numismatic evidence for their interpretive task.¹ Ancient coinage, however, preserves a microcosm of language, culture, and otherwise inaccessible insight into significant aspects of Greco-Roman thought. One consideration in employing numismatic data in the interpretive task is the extent to which the ancients noticed, examined, or even understood the inscriptions and iconography on the coins they handled daily. Literary evidence suggests that people did in fact pay attention to coinage and were aware, to some extent, of the images, symbols, inscriptions and their meanings. |
