| Additional information |
Gaba was a Macedonian military colony in northern Judaea, refounded under Herod the Great and granted civic status by the Romans. Its coins regularly display a Macedonian ethnic pride unusual for the region, and the city's loyalty to Rome made it a reliable mint for bronze civic issues throughout the Antonine period. The "ΖΙϹ" in the legend is a date formula referencing Gaba's local civic era, which scholars have calculated to begin around 61 BC, likely tied to Pompey's reorganization of the Levant.
