Hasmonean and herodian symbols on the ancient coins of Magdala, in Galilee

Abstract 
In Magdala during the archaeological investigations, directed by the Anahuac University from 2010 to 2017, around 2,500 coins were found in the excavated areas. A large number of the Jewish coins found in Magdala were minted in Jerusalem by the Hasmonean dynasty and the Herodian dynasty. These coins shared Jewish and Greek-Roman symbols. The symbols represented the political, ideological and social power that could have influenced the settlement during the 1st centuries BCE-CE.
