Abstract:
The coins of the Flavians, as well as those of Nerva, Trajan and Hadrian, are examined to see what light they throw on the proposed existence of an intentional anti-Jewish Roman policy. Although Roman coins after 70 CE include issues relating to Jewish subjects, the numismatic evidence does not support such a hypothesis. While those coin types contained a number of propaganda messages, they do not reflect conscious anti-Jewish sentiments.
