Hemiobol Samaria or Cilicia

Attribution of these tiny silver fractions has shifted repeatedly over the past half-century, with scholars dividing between a Samarian and Cilician origin largely on the basis of hoard provenance. The Nablus hoard of 1968 and subsequent Palestinian finds pushed opinion toward Samaria, while stylistic comparisons to Tarsos and Soloi keep the Cilician camp alive. No definitive epigraphic evidence has settled it.
