    Struck at Tiberias in Galilee, the following coin shows Hadrian fully cuirassed and bust right. The reverse has Zeus seated in tetrastyle temple and holding scepter. Rosenberg 12. The coin weighs 7.18 g. Hope you enjoy it.

    Nice coin, 7Calbrey!

    Here are a couple of coins from Herod Antipas that were also struck in Tiberias, the city which he built.

    Herod Antipas, Tetrarch of Galilee and Perea (4 BC - 39 AD), rebuilt Sepphoris, the capital of Galilee, and had his first capital there. Only one of his coin types is known to be struck there. Later, he constructed Tiberias (named in honor of his patron, Tiberius) on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, and moved his capital there.
