Æ25 - Domitianus ΦΛΑΟΥΙ ΝΕΑΠΟΛΙ ΣΑΜΑΡΕ L ΑΙ

Neapolis — ancient Shechem's successor city, refounded by Vespasian in 72 AD on the slopes of Mount Gerizim — began issuing civic bronze almost immediately after its founding, making this early Domitianic piece among the first generations of coinage struck there. The city's calendar era, reflected in the date on this coin, begins from that Flavian refoundation, a deliberate civic reset that erased the site's association with the Jewish revolt. The Samaritan population retained deep attachment to Gerizim as their sacred mountain, a tension that would eventually erupt in the revolt under Zeno-Hadrian centuries later.
