JUDAEA, Herodians. Herod IV Philip. 4 BCE-34 CE. Æ (19.5mm, 4.49 g, 11h). Caesarea Panias (Caesarea Philippi) mint. Dated RY 5 (1/2 CE). Bare head right; L E (date) across lower field / Tetrastyle temple (the Augusteum of Panias) set on high platform, lily in pediment. Meshorer 96; Hendin 6251; RPC I 4939; Sofaer –. Earthen red-brown surfaces. VF. Extremely rare, only three recorded in RPC.

Herod Philip was the first Jewish ruler to place his portrait on coins. Hendin (p. 257) notes: “Philip was able to immortalize his face on his coins largely because so few Jews lived in the territories over which he ruled. Jews would have taken this act as an insult and violation of the Mosaic Law against ‘graven images.’”
