Year: 54 BCE
Notes: This
coin's obverse is very similar to the Hendin 1441, except for the
inscriptions. The Jew named "Bacchius" is still unknown.
Narkiss thought that the person was Aristobulus II, showing his
defeat, just like Aretas from the Hendin 1441. Kindler thought the
figure was Dionysius, ruler of Tripoli from that time.
