COINS FROM JERASH

The excavations at Jerash (the ancient Gerasa) in Transjordania were first planned by Professor Benjamin W. Bacon of Yale University, and as a result of his interest were undertaken by Yale in conjunction with the British and American Schools in Jerusalem. Anything like a complete examination of the site was out of the question with the funds available and the work so far has been restricted to a series of special problems, the discussion of which is being published in a general report edited by Professor Carl H. Kraeling of the Yale Divinity School. The coins found in the course of the digging are briefly analyzed in the report and are here more fully described by the courtesy of the American Numismatic Society. They were cleaned by the excavators and 459 were identified and listed by Mr. A. S. Kirkbride of the Museum at Amman who reserved a series for that institution and sent the remainder to New Haven together with the unidentified pieces. What further cleaning was necessary was done by Mr. H. L. McClintock, then a Senior in Yale College, and the present writer has completed the catalogue with the assistance of specialists of greater competence to whom he here expresses his indebtedness. The advice of Mr. E. T. Newell is so regularly sought by excavators as to be almost a matter of course, but no one who has profited by that advice will mistake repeated acknowledgments for an empty form. Professor C. C. Torrey of Yale has been consulted on the Nabataean coins. Dr. J. K. Birge of the American Board of Foreign Missions in Istanbul has come to the aid of the writer's trifling acquaintance with Arabic, and Mr. John Walker of the British Museum has given invaluable help on special problems. Dr. George C. Miles has generously read both manuscript and proof of the Arabic section and revised the spelling. Finally, Mr. Howland Wood of the American Numismatic Society has assisted so much with the Islamic coins that that whole section might reasonably stand under his name. His sudden death is a source of the greatest regret to all who had had the benefit and the pleasure of working with him.

No detailed discussion of the site is here possible, but it may be appropriate to give an outline of our scanty knowledge of the town's history. Of the first settlement of Gerasa there are no remains, and the only evidence available is the name itself whose origin and meaning are uncertain but clearly not Greek, showing the existence of a pre-Seleucid town. It is not known which of the Seleucid Kings is responsible for the foundation of the Greek city. It is likely that under Antiochus IV (175–164 B.C.) it received its official title of "Antioch-on-the-Chrysoroas," but so far nothing of consequence has been uncovered which can be attributed to the Greek period. At some time in the second century B.C. it fell into the hands of Zeno Cotylus, tyrant of Philadelphia (the modern Amman), from whose son Theodorus it was won by the Jewish King Alexander Jannaeus in 85 B.C. In 63 Pompey's victory over the Jews resulted in their losing most of the country across the Jordan, and the group of towns known as the Decapolis, to which Gerasa had at some time been attached, seems to have been left in a state of quasi-autonomy. A single Nabataean bi-lingual inscription and the coins of Aretas IV and Rabbel II testify to a period of influence from the Kings of Petra, but there is no certain evidence of the political position of Gerasa until it was included in the province of Arabia created by Trajan. Thereafter it remained a part of the Roman empire until the Saracen conquest in 634 A.D. or shortly afterwards.

The various periods of the city's history are unevenly represented by the coins, which results from the fact that the digging has been done not in any attempt to recover the general history of the site, but in an investigation of certain isolated monuments. The large majority of the coins come from the South Tetrapylon, one of the city's great gateways, while a number are supplied by the Baths of Placcus of the fifty century A.D., and a few by the Temple of Artemis area, the Hippodrome, the north end of the Forum, a cemetery and several churches. Their contribution to the understanding of those locations is discussed in the report of the excavation. Our only concern here is to point out that their testimony is not to the site as a whole but to a number of spots within the city historically independent. Nevertheless, they make a better balanced series than one would expect under the circumstances and deserve to be recorded pending the time when further excavation may yield a more comprehensive picture. The accompanying tables will give a digest of the material.

The disappointing paucity of Hellenistic coins leaves us in entire ignorance of the early fortunes of the country. Did the district across the Jordan share with Palestine that shift from Ptolemaic to Seleucid control after the conquests of Antiochus III which is so clearly shown in the excavations of Beth Zur 1 and emerges from an analysis of the material from Samaria? 2 Unfortunately there seems to be no comparative material available from Trans-Jordan itself, and an attempt to draw conclusions from the Jerash coins would be folly. At the beginning of the Christian era, however, the preponderance of Nabataean over Palestinian coins gives us some ground for believing that the energy of Aretas IV had separated the district from Jewish control. I can find no record of his pieces in Palestinian sites (though with the exception of the two excavations already cited and of Jerusalem itself, the numismatic records are far from satisfactory). This would seem to indicate that the Jordan was the boundary between spheres of influence in his time. If the four fractional pieces ascribed to him are those of his successor Malchus II instead (as Hill believes), they and the three representatives of Rabbel II testify to a continued though diminished contact with the Nabataean power until the time of Trajan.

The early Roman data, meagre as they are, show the importance of the great Syrian mint of Antioch which is intermitted only in the second century when the cities of the Decapolis themselves were striking. Palestinian mints reappear in the third century, with an anomalous number of specimens from Neapolis in the reign of Severus Alexander whose abundant issues from Antioch are only once represented, but of the Phoenician towns, only Tyre appears, and that rarely. Trajan's five pieces from Alexandria are the sole instances of contact with Egypt until the fourth century. The two coins from Thelpusa and Thuria in the Peloponnesus are to be connected with similar pieces found at Dura. 3 Seyrig in a recent note 4 has rightly explained these as traces of Caracalla's eastern campaign.

From the time when provincial mints begin the issue of imperial Antoniniani, Antioch retains first place until the fifth century. For the period of Constantine comparative material is furnished by a Constantinian hoard from North Palestine. 5 Considering the scarcity of such records it may be useful to show the mints represented.

This comparison of strictly contemporary material shows divergence in the positions of Rome, Alexandria and Constantinople. The difference is somewhat abated by the inclusion of coins of the sons of Constantine from Jerash, which would rank the mints (disregarding the accidental examples from the west) as follows: 1 Antioch, 2 Rome, 3 Cyzicus, 4 Alexandria, 5 Thessalonica, 6 Constantinople, 7 Nicomedia, 8 Heraclea; while in the Palestinian hoard they are: 1 Antioch, 2 Cyzicus, 3 Nicomedia, 4 Alexandria, 5 Constanti-nople, 6 Thessalonica, 7 Rome, 8 Heraclea. That leaves Rome with a much higher, Constantinople and Nicomedia with a much lower proportional representation at Jerash. Such data are, of course, not conclusive, but their gradual accumulation will eventually give us much valuable information about trade relations in the fourth century.

The striking thing about the Byzantine series is the prominent place occupied by Justin II and particularly by the mint of Nicomedia in his reign. Unfortunately the literary records give us no help in explaining this phenomenon, and the attempt to connect it with known events such as the Persian war which began in the late summer of 572 ends in gratuitous theorizing. What little Byzantine material is available from Palestine gives no indication of especial activity there under Justin II or of any particular connection with Nicomedia, but it is so slight that its negative evidence cannot be relied on. 6 That this is not merely an accidental disproportion, however, is shown by the fact that the Arabic imitations next to be discussed are copied from a follis of Justin II from Nicomedia. After Constans II comes the Saracen conquest and there is no further trace of Roman officialdom at Jerash.

The most interesting group of coins is that consisting of the imitations of folles of Justin II bearing the name "Scythopolis." Some of these have been published by Mr. John Walker. 7 He was then inclined to believe, as his title shows, that they were the product of a temporary provincial Byzantine mint operated at Baysan, the ancient Scythopolis. With this conclusion I found it impossible to agree, and I am happy to say that when all the material had been submitted to him he replied that it now seemed more likely that the coins were Arabic as I contended.

The article makes two points: first, that there is no Arabic legend on the coins, which would make them exceptional if they were struck by the conquerors; second, that there is no subsequent use of the mint of Baysan by the Arabs, whereas it certainly had been used earlier by the Romans. 8 The second is disposed of by the last piece in our list (p. 122, No. 514) for whose proper description Mr. Walker himself is responsible. 8a He writes me, "There can be no doubt that your unique specimen was struck under the Arabs, since it bears an Arabic legend under the M. That name unfortunately is none too clear, but I can have little hesitation in believing that it stands for بيسن i.e. Baysan which was the Arabic name for Bethshan or Scythopolis. In that case it resembles the coins struck by the Arabs at Damascus with ΔAMACKOC on the obverse, and the Arabic equivalent دمشق Dimishḳ on the reverse in the exergue." The simplest conclusion would be that our other pieces are earlier Islamic coins of a type finally regarded as unsatisfactory because they bore no Arabic inscription, and that this last one is an attempt to meet that objection by putting an Arabic mint mark in the exergue and moving the NIKO which had previously stood there to the right, the normal position for the date.

It might still be insisted, however, that the earlier ones must be Byzantine because they have no Arabic inscriptions. To this there are counter-objections which seem to me of much greater weight.

At the time of Justin II the Byzantine coinage was in a period of decline but by no means of chaos. Nine mints were issuing bronze, four of them, Constantinople, Nicomedia, Cyzicus and Antioch, striking uniform folles of the type originated by Anastasius I and perfected by Justinian I in 538. (The folles of Carthage differ somewhat, though their basic design is the same.) In 572 therefore, the date at which our coins purport to have been struck, the type was thirty-four years old, and it continued in use for forty years or so more. Under these conditions any innovation would be matter for remark, but on our pieces we find two of the most extraordinary kind. In the first place the Emperor's name is replaced on the obverse by the word "Scythopolis." This is in violation of a tradition as old as Augustus which continued without interruption as long as the Byzantine series lasted. There are cases, as on some of the coins of Heraclius, where the obverse bears no inscription at all. There are cases in the 11th century where the Emperor's portrait is replaced by that of Christ or the Virgin in which case the obverse inscription is, of course, appropriate to them. There are also cases where the Emperor's name is combined with some pious formula. But the only exception to the general rule, that when the imperial portrait is accompanied by an inscription it must be the imperial name, is the case where the phrase ΕΝΤΟΥΤΟ ΝΙΚΑ stands on the obverse of Constans II. Such a substitution as the one on our coins is without parallel and must have seemed a monstrosity to the citizens.

Yet this is not the most remarkable feature of the matter. The name of the town thus intruded on the obverse announces that the coin was struck in two different places, for the exergue of the reverse regularly bears the letters NIKO, the mint mark of Nico-media. If an imperial mint was to be established in a new town it would be simple enough to substitute the proper letters in the proper place, as was done by Heraclius in the case of Isaura, where the folles bear the mark ISAYR. It is simply incredible that any official could have produced a contradiction such as this double mint mark. Indeed it seems incredible that such a thing should have been done even without official supervision as, for example, if the town were in revolt and coined its money independently of the imperial system. Surely then too the citizens would have removed the name of Nicomedia. And of course there is no ground whatever for suggesting that Scythopolis was at any time in revolt.

The chief explanation of these aberrations must lie not in the ignorance of the moneyers, but in their indifference. Yet ignorance is a factor as well. Aside from barbarisms such as the reversal of the N of which the imperial mints would be quite capable, we find many of the pieces on which the O of the mint mark is combined with the date, while others have impossible mint marks like ONIK. The proportionately large number of these imitation folles makes it evident that the issue was a very large one and the degrees of degeneracy in the type very strongly suggest that the issue was of considerable duration. Yet it clings obstinately to the same date (572), where the date is a possible one at all, except for our Nos. 512 and 513 and Mr. Walker's V, which have XII and XI respectively. It is to be noted too that the officina mark is almost always A, once B, once Γ (Mr. Walker's V) and once E. But if there were two officinae, A and B should be of fairly equal frequency, while the real existence of a third and a fifth is extremely doubtful: Nicomedia and Cyzicus had only two. It is worth noting that both the Γ and the E pieces are very barbarous in style and have Arabic countermarks.

To be sure, we are not dealing with evidence from Baysan itself. Mr. Newell informs me that the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania's excavations on that site have produced no unmistakable specimen of these folles, but it is to be hoped that eventually we shall have more information from the place of minting. In the meanwhile, it seems to me that we must reject the theory of an official or semi-official Byzantine origin for these coins. In Jerash, at least, orthodox folles of Justin II continued to circulate in and after 572, and it is hard to believe that Baysan can have been so cut off from the rest of the empire as to produce this progressively barbarous series while its neighbors were using the official issues.

Rather, in spite of the difficulties, we must accept the theory of Arabic origin. In 634, while Abu-῾Ubay-dah was besieging Damascus, Abu-al-A-῾war was sent to the Jordan to hold in check the Byzantine army of Palestine, which was concentrated at Baysan. After the capture of Damascus the main force of Saracens relieved him and in the late summer fought and defeated the Roman army. After some resistance Baysan capitulated, and the cities east of the Jordan, Jerash among them, followed suit. 9 The next two or three years were occupied with the conquest of Palestine and it is to this period that I should assign the coinage from Scythopolis intended for circulation in the newly won territory, patterned on a familiar Byzantine model and struck, reasonably enough, in the town that had been the military headquarters of the beaten enemy. To the conquerors it would matter not at all that the omission of the imperial title was without precedent or that the double mint-mark was nonsense. All that was necessary for them was money of familiar appearance whose place of issue was identified. It is no cause for surprise that they wrote the town's name in Greek: the same was done for Damascus, Emesa, Heliopolis and Tiberias. Increased carelessness and the commission of blunders in various elements of the inscription would be natural enough since there was no central control and mistakes were merely offenses against the system of a beaten enemy. But eventually, dissatisfied with imitation and reluctant to perpetuate types which strict religious principles forbade them, the Saracens invented a bronze currency for general use—the familiar coins with nothing but the formula of faith—and the earlier local coinages fell into disuse. Between that time and the introduction of the "Scythopolis" pieces there is, I believe, an intermediate state, represented by our No. 514 already discussed.

Proof that these folles were not entirely withdrawn even after the introduction of the new type is found in No. 507 (Mr. Walker's IV) where the whole formula of faith is struck over the Byzantine type. I should suppose that the pieces countermarked طيب "good," also belong to the period of uniform Ummayad currency, though the word occurs as part of the type on coins of Emesa. 10 These offer another analogy to our pieces in that the obverse inscription is not the Emperor's name. It is ΚΑΛΟΝ to correspond to طيب. At any rate, it implied that part of the population among which they circulated was not familiar with Greek. 11

But there is one serious difficulty which can neither be avoided nor entirely resolved. Why should the Arabs choose a coin sixty years old to imitate rather than a contemporary piece? From the other Syrian mints, it is Heraclius and his sons who appear and we should expect the same here. A partial explanation is supplied by our list which shows the much greater frequency of coins of Justin II than of those of his successors. There is no accounting for this except by the general decay of the country in the troubles of the late sixth and early seventh centuries, but, assuming that conditions in Baysan were like those in Jerash, folles of Justin II may well have been not only still in circulation (of that there can hardly be a doubt) but actually commoner than later issues, so that the Saracens may perfectly well have regarded them as the standard coin.

Such of the later Ummayad coins as bear mint marks are chiefly from Tiberias, with Damascus in second place, showing that the relations of the town in Islamic times lay chiefly to the north. Its prosperity evidently did not long outlast the Ummayads for pieces of later date are negligible.

Of the barbarous imitations it is impossible to speak with confidence, but the presence of one coin of Huneric (if it is his) makes it possible that some of the others are also of African origin.

20 mm. Cf. B. M. Arab. p. 18, No. 12. In general appearance this is much like the published coin, but there are troublesome differences: it is larger; the horns and disk of Zeus Ammon are doubtful, indeed the head looks as though it were bound with a taenia which may be merely due to the battered condition of the coin; the inscription is visible only on the right and is far from clear. However, BOC[TPωN] seems the likeliest reading and I can suggest no better attribution.

14 mm. This coin is unpublished. The reverse inscription at first suggested Antioch on the Orontes which issued small pieces (e.g. B. M. Gal. Pl. XXII) of similar fabric; but the attitude of Tyche is quite unlike that on the coins of Antioch and is attested for Gerasa by the next piece, while the inscription may be taken as a modification of that on the preceding one. It must be admitted, however, that the fabric does not look Gerasene.

Rev. Within wreath, bust of Athena in plumed helmet r.; to l. and r., SC

19 mm. This is attributed to Antioch with the gravest doubt. The bust of Athena never appears on the published coins of that city and no such type has been found at Dura where the issues of Antioch are very common. Nor does the obverse inscription, so far as it can be made out, agree with that on the known bronze of Caracalla from Antioch (B. M. Gal. p. 194, Nos. 354–359). The fabric is not quite the same, though it would not make the attribution impossible. On the other hand, the legend SC without further inscription is characteristic of Antioch alone among the mints that are geographically possible; and this coin must represent a unique abnormality of that mint or the unexplained usurpation of its distinction by some other city.

End Notes
1
Although the mint mark is gone. Nos. 378 and 379 may probably be attributed to Constantinople, No. 379 almost surely.
2
This may be Anastasius or Justin I, with the probability strongly in favor of the former, since the bronze of the latter of small fabric is much rarer.
3

End Notes

This variety with the crescent is not in B. M. Byz., Tolstoi or Sabatier. (Cf. B. M. Byz. p. 14, note 1). There are folles of Anastasius with crescent and star (B. M. Byz. p. 4, No. 17, and p. 5, note 2), but none with crescent and cross. The present specimen is certainly not a barbarous imitation.

APPENDIX

Mr. Walker refers in the course of his article mentioned in the introduction (above, p. 14) to a paper by M. R. Cottevieille-Giraudet entitled "La Collection Decourdemanche (Monnaies Musulmanes) au Cabinet de Médailles" (Revue Numismatique 37 [1934] pp. 199–219) in the course of which (pp. 210–219) he argues that certain coins published by Lavoix as Arabic imitations are in fact the product of local Byzantine mints. Since the material from Jerash bears on this question I take the opportunity of setting forth the reasons which make his theory seem to me inadmissible. With his general contention that pieces of barbarous appearance are not necessarily imitations I heartily agree, though it must be remarked that the archaeological evidence is all against his thesis that folles circulated only in the province where they were struck. But the attempt to prove the existence of Byzantine mints at Damascus and Caesarea rests in the end on the assumption that all Arabic imitations have some part of the inscription in Arabic. On the testimony of the Jerash coins that assumption is no longer tenable.

In dealing with the coins from Damascus (Lavoix 1 and 2, B. M. C. Or. IX, 1), he urges against the view that these are Arabic: 1, they are dated in Latin which occurs on no other Arabic imitation; 2, ΔΑΜ is written for Damascus, and abbreviation, the regular rule on Byzantine coins, is never found on Arabic ones; 3, there is no piece of Heraclius that could have served as a model, the date being 17 when Heraclius' coins bear three figures on the obverse. The letters on the obverse are held to have been originally ΛєΟ, the name of the Byzantine governor who had charge of the issue.

1 and 2 are arguments from analogy which could only amount to proof if it could be established that the general rule of Arabic imitations was founded on some positive enactment which would make exceptions impossible. The coins from Jerash sufficiently prove the possibility of exceptions, or rather of the fact that, at the beginning, there was no general rule. This was in any case inherently probable.

3 certainly proves that this is not a direct copy from a Byzantine original, but does not really touch the question of responsibility for it. As a matter of fact there is reason for believing that the model was not Heraclius but Constans II. The only occurrences of Heraclius beardless or with a short beard, standing alone, are from Alexandria (B. M. C. 225, 283–286) and from Carthage (B. M. C. 234 f.). But why are these called Heraclius? There is no inscription. Wroth (p. 287) remarks that some of the pieces described under Heraclius may have been struck, under Constans (e.g. p. 227). Is it not reasonable to suppose that the obverse which is Constans' earliest at Constantinople was his invention and is his in Alexandria also? In the case of Carthage the probability is increased by the legend džΝ ΤΟΥΤΟ ΝΙΚΑ which appears on four of Constans' types and never other- wise on those of Heraclius. Since there are no reasons apparent for attributing either of these series to Heraclius they must be given to Constans, who, therefore, first introduces the obverse of the Emperor standing alone. It follows that the Damascus obverse must have been an invention without precedent, or it must have been struck subsequent to 641 when the city was in the hands of the Arabs. In the former case the innovation is much more likely to have been made by them than by a Byzantine provincial official on his own responsibility. This applies also to the obverse of B. M. C. Or. IX, 1 where the Emperor appears seated. For this there is no direct antecedent. Maurice is seated on some of his gold (B. M. C. 127, 1) and there is silver with Heraclius and his son seated together (B. M. C. 195, 96 ff.) but neither analogy is complete. Whether the figure here be Heraclius or Constans, it is most improbable that an imperial governor would introduce the type without precedent and without parallel. This is the more evident since both novel obverses purport to have been struck in the same year, 626/7 if the Emperor be Heraclius.

Whichever Emperor inspired the obverse, the reverse is more like that of Heraclius (B. M. C. 206 ff.). Yet there is a detail to which M. Cotte-vieille-Giraudet himself draws attention which makes a difficulty for his theory. The date is written XЧ11, and that is the way 17 appears on the coins of Constans (B. M. C. 278 f. 192–197). But under Heraclius it is always written Ximage1 (B. M. C. 208, 186–190). Surely the natural conclusion is that the imitation is subsequent to the year 17 of Constans, that is 656/7. That would dispose of the possibility of Byzantine minting in Damascus.

There are, in addition, features of these pieces which make it in the highest degree doubtful that they could be Byzantine. In the first place, the name ΛєΟ on the obverse creates an insuperable difficulty. That ΑєΟ was a name is certainly the easiest explanation (though the suggestion might be made that it was a misunderstanding of the ΝєΟ on the right side of Constans᾽ reverse, B. M. C. p. 268 f.) but the theory that a Byzantine Governor struck his own name beside the imperial portrait is so unlikely historically as to be incredible. That the Arabic governor should have been named Leo is doubtless surprising as it is certainly incapable of proof, but it is obviously a lesser difficulty.

Secondly, the symbol on the obverse, the eagle (?) on a T is quite unlike anything else in the Byzantine coinage and is therefore an innovation which argues against connection with an imperial mint.

Thirdly, the errors on the reverse are such as a foreigner would make and a Greek would not. The bronze of Heraclius and Constans is careless and debased, but ΑΝΟ for ΑΝΝΟ is not among its sins. On the other hand the ΑΝΑ of Constans᾽ reverse (B. M. C. p. 266 f. etc.) might well have caused the confusion in the mind of a die-sinker who did not understand what he was doing. Again, the officina mark under the Μ has given place, on the Damascus coins, to an inverted crescent and a bar which would not have been used by a Greek but by one who did not know what the letter meant.

Perhaps the most cogent argument is the likeness of the fabric to that of other Arabic imitations and the entire unlikeness to the bronzes of Heraclius or Constans. That coins so strange and aberrant in design should be so superior in fabric must mean that they were struck by an authority other than that which perpetrated the degenerate Byzantine coins of the mid seventh century.

The case of Lavoix No. 38 is an exaggeration of that for Damascus. Here the word ΤΙΒΕΙΙΟ is read as the name Tiberius and it is suggested that it is either Tiberius the son of Heraclius or the Emperor Tiberius II. But the former never appears elsewhere on the coins even associated with his father and it is out of the question that he should in this case appear alone, which none of the other princes ever did. As for the latter, his coins are so very different in type, size and style that he is eliminated. It would have been wiser to assume a Governor in this case too. At least that supposition is more difficult to disprove.

The mint seems to be correctly read as Caesarea. But M. Cottevieille-Giraudet argues that it must be Caesarea in Cappadocia because Caesarea in Palestine was in the hands of the Arabs before 640. This is precisely the reason for accepting Caesarea in Palestine as the mint.

There can be no doubt that these coins are, as Lavoix believed, Arabic imitations of Byzantine coins exhibiting various degrees of ignorant and indifferent departure from their originals.
