Abstract

The author argues that, despite having the extrabiblical Elephantine papyri and the Wadi ed-Daliyeh texts, our knowledge of Judea and Samaria in the fourth century BCE is sparse. He inserts into this vacuum of epigraphic source material the so-called "fractional" coins. Coins from these two locales are often viewed as being very similar due to their close geographic location. By analyzing weight standards, iconography, circulation patterns, and paleography, Gerson teases out cultural information. He argues that he can detect distinctly different sensibilities between Judea (more "inward" looking) and Samaria (more "outward" looking).
