Herod ruled Judea as a client king under Roman authority, appointed by the Senate in 37 BC after a brutal three-year campaign to seize Jerusalem from the Hasmoneans. His bronze prutot were struck in Jerusalem and represent one of the few coin series from his reign that circulated broadly among the Jewish population — groups who, for religious reasons, rejected coinage bearing human portraiture, a constraint Herod largely respected in his smaller denominations. Hendin 1174 is among the more common varieties in the series, though survivors in decent condition are consistently undervalued relative to their historical weight.
