| 表面の説明 | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, modelled in the Athenian style with the goddess wearing a crested Attic helmet adorned with a raised visor. The portrait displays the characteristic archaic-to-classical rendering typical of Philistian imitative coinage of the 4th century BC, with carefully delineated hair locks visible beneath the helmet bowl. The flan is irregular and slightly worn, consistent with hand-struck provincial production. |

Gaza sat at the southern end of the Levantine coastal route — the road Egyptian armies, Phoenician traders, and Persian administrators all depended on — and its fourth-century civic coinage reflects that position directly. The city's drachms were struck under Achaemenid suzerainty but circulated as a local commercial currency, facilitating trade at a port the Persians never fully controlled culturally. Gaza was the last city to hold out against Alexander in 332 BC, enduring a two-month siege before its governor Batis was reportedly dragged to death behind a chariot in deliberate imitation of Achilles.
The Gitler/Tal reference classifies these pieces within a tightly argued sequence of Philisto-Arabian issues where die links between Gaza and neighboring mints complicate clean attribution.
