Abstract

This paper discusses a recently discovered coin hoard in the German-Israeli Tell Iẓṭabba Excavation Project. The copper-alloy coins date from the time of Alexander II Zabinas (129/128–124/123 BCE). The linen cloth in which the hoard was wrapped is discussed in light of the site history and archaeology – a Seleucid-founded settlement that was destroyed by John Hyrcanus in 108/107 BCE. We examined the relationship between the fabric and the truncated-pyramid loom weights, which were found at the site in considerable numbers as the area of Beth She’an was famous for the cultivation of flax and the production of linen for centuries. Is it possible that this linen fabric was woven on a loom using the loom weights found at the site? Or could it have been manufactured elsewhere?

Notes

  1. 1.

    Still, since textiles (esp. linen) were presumably precious, we cannot exclude the possibility that our piece predates the Hellenistic period.
