By the time Jesus was born coins had already been in use in the Holy Land for more than 400 years. The sophistication and variation shows in the coinage available. There were many different types of bronze coins circulating together in Judea during the time Jesus lived. Judea was a Selucid possession in the years preceding the Hasmonean revolt in the mid 2nd CBC. Small Selucid bronzes from that era circulated widely. Later, the bronze coinage of the Hasmonaean Jewish Kings and the Herodian dynasties added numerous types to the mix, which served as the local small change for Judea for over a century prior to the birth of Christ. The bronze coin designs of the Hasmonians were borrowed from the earlier coins of the Ptolemys and the Seleucids: olive wreath, cornucopia, flower, anchor, star and palm branch. The legends on these coins were inscribed in Aramaic and Greek. As Roman influence gained strength, the later Rome-appointed Herodian Tetrarchs carried over some design elements and introduced others on coins struck in their names. Concurrent with the life of Jesus and the Herod Dynasty there were other coins struck by the Roman governors of Judaea. These do not bear their names, but rather indicate in their inscriptions the reigning Roman emperor or members of his family, and are dated by the regnal years of the governor. Although weights of these various coins varied considerably, there were two common types of Judea bronzes during this period: the smaller leptons and the larger prutahs. Bronze petra coins minted by neighboring nomadic merchants of Nabatea were also accepted freely in trade in the bazaars of Judea.
