Abstract:
Roughly 10% of fourth century BCE Samarian coin types display Sidonian coin motifs. Similarities between Sidonian-styled Samarian coins and Phoenician coins have caused misclassifications, which are addressed in this paper. Eight new types of Sidonian-styled Samarian coins are defined. The origin and meanings of the adopted motifs are considered. The historical context of Sidonian-styled issues in relation to the political character of Samaria and Sidon during the fourth century BCE is discussed.
