I enjoyed his columns in the "Celator." He seems to be quite celebrated, literarily; although I haven't read this particular book. 5/5 from 6 reviews on amazon. Let us know what you think when you get into it. I may purchase a copy.

 

Will do so...!!

 

Yes, it's a good overview. Anyone interested in Biblical coinage should definitely own a copy.

 

My Tiberius Tet. is attributed to have been from him in 2004. The year the coin was made is commonly thought to be around the time Jesus was born.

Much closer to the year He died.

 

Not only is this a standard reference, its a straight up fun read. He's a delightful person to talk to and that translates flawlessly to his writing.

 

I have this book and love it!

I've learned so much from it. I would highly recommend it.

You're right, I got it confused with my Augustus Tet.
