  • Seleucid Hasmonean Shiloh Coins
    “The Seleucid and Hasmonean Coins of Shiloh: What They Do and Do Not Tell Us about the Occupation of Second Century BCE Shiloh” Paper presented at Stone-Campbell Journal Conference, April 5-6, 2019 by Kevin W. Larsen, Ph.D.1 Geo-political factors make archaeological research difficult in the highlands of Israel (i.e., West Bank). While much progress has been made, the recovery and interpretation of the material culture is still lagging in comparison to other parts of the southern Levant. In many cases scholars are limited to textual evidence in constructing a history of the region. The Associates for Biblical Research, under the direction of Scott Stripling and the auspices of the Civil Administration of Judea and Samaria, began excavation work at Shiloh in 2017. After two seasons one hundred eighty-one coins have been found. The coins may be useful for our understanding of life at Shiloh, but there are also difficulties in using them for stratigraphy. The aim of the paper is to offer suggestions about how the coins may or may not assist in augmenting the literary evidence of the Seleucids and Hasmoneans in the second-century BCE in and around Shiloh. Recovery from the Babylonian invasion of Judah2 and the repatriation of Jews into their former homeland under the Persians was long and difficult. While the process was much quicker on the Mediterranean coast, where cities and large villages were settled, in the central hills there was but one city (Jerusalem) and small farmsteads that dotted the region. In the highlands few villages can be identified, with settlement activity being at best fragmented and dispersed.

He defeated the Persian king Darius at Gaugamela, advanced to a welcoming Babylon, and progressed to Persepolis where he burned Xerxes palace supposedly in retaliation for Persias invasions of Greece some 150 years previously (Diodorus 17.72.1-6). Thus one empire gave way to another by a different name. So began the Greek empires that dominated Judea/Israel for the next two hundred or so years, the focus of this chapter. Is a postcolonial discussion of these empires possible and what might it highlight? Considerable dif�culties stand in the way. One is the weight of conventional analyses and disciplinary practices which have framed the discourse with emphases on the various roles of the great men, the ruling state, military battles, and Greek settlers, and have paid relatively little regard to the dynamics of imperial power from the perspectives of native inhabitants, the impact on peasants and land, and poverty among non-elites, let alone any reciprocal impact between colonizers and colon- ized.

  • Acra Fortress, Built by Antiochus As He Sought to Quell a Jewish Priestly Rebellion Centered on the Temple
    1 2,000-year-old fortress unearthed in Jerusalem after century-long search By Times of Israel staff, November 3, 2015, 2:52 pm http://www.timesofisrael.com/maccabean-era-fortress-unearthed-in-jerusalem-after-century-long- search/ Acra fortification, built by Hanukkah villain Antiochus IV Epiphanes, maintained Seleucid Greek control over Temple until its conquest by Hasmoneans in 141 BCE In what archaeologists are describing as “a solution to one of the great archaeological riddles in the history of Jerusalem,” researchers with the Israel Antiquities Authority announced Tuesday that they have found the remnants of a fortress used by the Seleucid Greek king Antiochus Epiphanes in his siege of Jerusalem in 168 BCE. A section of fortification was discovered under the Givati parking lot in the City of David south of the Old City walls and the Temple Mount. The fortification is believed to have been part of a system of defenses known as the Acra fortress, built by Antiochus as he sought to quell a Jewish priestly rebellion centered on the Temple. 2 Antiochus is remembered in the Jewish tradition as the villain of the Hanukkah holiday who sought to ban Jewish religious rites, sparking the Maccabean revolt. The Acra fortress was used by his Seleucids to oversee the Temple and maintain control over Jerusalem. The fortress was manned by Hellenized Jews, who many scholars believe were then engaged in a full-fledged civil war with traditionalist Jews represented by the Maccabees. Mercenaries paid by Antiochus rounded out the force. Lead sling stones and bronze arrowheads stamped with the symbol of the reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes, evidence of the attempts to conquer the Acra citadel in Jerusalem’s City of David in Maccabean days.

  • Handout: Daniel Lesson 7 Daniel 11:2-45 Covers the Period from the Persian Age to Seleucid Ruler Antiochus IV in Three Parts: 1
    Handout: Daniel Lesson 7 Daniel 11:2-45 covers the period from the Persian Age to Seleucid ruler Antiochus IV in three parts: 1. The Persian kings from Cambyses to Xerxes I: 529-465 BC (11:2) 2. Alexander the Great and the division of his empire: 336-323 BC (11:3-4). 3. Battles of the Greek Seleucids, the kings of the north and the Greek Ptolemies, the kings of the south (11:5-45). Part three concerning the history of the Greek Seleucids and Greek Ptolemies divides into six sections (11:5-45): 1. The reigns Ptolemy I Soter, 323-285 BC, and Seleucus I Nicator 312/11-280 BC (11:5) 2. The intrigues of Ptolemy II Philadelphus 285-246 BC and Antiochus II Theos 261-246 BC (11:6). 3. The revenge of Ptolemy III Evergetes 246-221 for the deaths of his sister Berenice and her baby by making war against the kingdom of Seleucus II Collinicus 246-226 BC (11:7-9). 4. The reign of Antiochus IV the Great 223-187 BC (11:10-19). 5. The reign of Seleucus IV Philopator 187-175 BC (11:20). 6. The cruel reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes 175-164 BC, his persecution of the Jews, and his destruction (11:21-45). 2 Three more kings are going to rise in Persia; a fourth will come and be richer than all the others, and when, thanks to his wealth, he has grown powerful, he will make war on all the kingdoms of Greece.

  • A DEDICATION to APHRODITE EPEKOOS for DEMETRIUS I SOTER and HIS FAMILY Aus: Zeitschrift Für Papyrologie Und Epigraphik 131 (2000) 106–110
    OLIVER D. HOOVER A DEDICATION TO APHRODITE EPEKOOS FOR DEMETRIUS I SOTER AND HIS FAMILY aus: Zeitschrift für Papyrologie und Epigraphik 131 (2000) 106–110 © Dr. Rudolf Habelt GmbH, Bonn 106 A DEDICATION TO APHRODITE EPEKOOS FOR DEMETRIUS I SOTER AND HIS FAMILY1 This inscribed marble plaque is said to have been brought to France from Syria at the beginning of the 20th century. In the early 1990s the French collection to which it belonged was sold and the piece came to the United States where it currently remains as part of a private collection. The stone measures 25.5 cm wide, 24.7 cm high and 2.6 cm thick. There is a trace of a raised molding 0.7cm wide on the upper left corner of the stone. The lower left and upper right corners are broken and missing. The stone ap- pears to be a cut piece of a marble stele reused for this inscription. The script is appropriate to the second century BC (although the form of the letter II appears more frequently in the third century) and the letters range in height from 20 to 10 mm.
