One reason these are so popular is because these coins provide a direct link to stories in the Bible - and the people interested in these stories are the ones most often buying them. Pilate, Felix, and Festus all feature in the Bible - and, as the procurators of Judea, would have been the ones in charge of the local mints. And so, the coins are identified with them. That&#039;s my guess, anyways.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
