EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable coin of Alexander Jannaeus, crafted by the skilled hands of the Jewish School. Hailing from a private collection, this ancient artifact offers a glimpse into the reign of Alexander Yannai, who ruled over Judea between 103 and 76 BC. The obverse side of this metal coin features an intriguing Seleucid anchor symbol, representing the influence and power that Alexander Jannaeus held during his time as king. On the reverse side, we are met with an enchanting eight-spoke wheel or star enclosed within a diadem. The inscription "Yehonatan the King" adds an air of regality to this exquisite piece. Photographed by eZev Radovan and now out of copyright, this image allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship involved in creating such coins but also their historical significance. As we delve into its details, we uncover glimpses of ancient Judean culture and currency. Coins have always been more than mere objects used for transactions; they serve as tangible links to our pasts. This particular coin is no exception – it represents a chapter in history when Hasmonean rule prevailed and reflects the rich Jewish heritage embedded within its bronze surface. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with access to extraordinary artistry through their fine art finder platform – reminding us that even in stillness, these prints can transport us across time and immerse us in fascinating narratives from centuries ago.
