| Additional information |
Gaba, a Macedonian military colony resettled in the Jezreel Valley, dated its civic era from its refoundation under Augustus or possibly Pompey — scholars still dispute the precise epoch. The letters ΑΟΡ represent the city year 171, which anchors this piece firmly to Trajan's reign during the First Dacian War's aftermath, when Roman administrative reach into provincial Judaea was consolidating rapidly following the suppression of earlier regional tensions.
Small Judaean civic bronzes of this weight rarely survive without heavy patination obscuring the city ethnic.
