Ancient coins are amazing items. They are a connection to the past, a glimpse back through the ages and are rich with the imagery ,customs and beliefs of the people who held them. Very often the coins feature the image of gods, Kings and Emperors, some almost forgotten others famous even infamous.
From the hand of the man who struck the coin it passed through a multitude of hands and over the years through many dwelling places, was carried by the rich and poor from place to place paying for thousands of transactions, eventually likely becoming part of a hoard of coins lying hidden for centuries until being discovered and viewed again by curious eyes.
Many of the thousands of people who held the coins from the collection featured on this website would have seen the rulers of their day like Herod the Great and Pontius Pilate and would it be a stretch to say they may have seen Jesus Christ ? We read in the Bible that multitudes followed him, "And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan" Matthew 4v25
These coins are pieces of history silently bearing testimony to the historical accuracy of the Bible they are TestiMoney..
