Antigonus II Mattathias coin find reported

Post by StephenGoranson »

Though not found archaeologically in a sealed locus (the best option), the coin does appear to be genuine.
The article notes that this Antigonus was backed by Parthia and considered by some a "puppet."
The article may include a couple of iffy sentences.
