<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1732748, member: 26302&quot;]You&#039;re right, its not God but OTOH Yehud coinage is what we call the series. We simply do not know the names of many bronzes coins in the near east. So this series is called Yehud by us because of the categorization we use, but if I had to guess I would guess they were probably known locally as prutah. Prutah is a very common name in that area of the world and era, not restricted to Jewish coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Btw, though, prutah was prth, so still without vowels. Ancient semitic was similar to ancient Persian and other middle eastern languaegs that did not spell out the vowels. So either way you could still be right sir! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
