Abstract

A total of 189 bronze coins, 52 of which were identifiable, were retrieved from the Ḥammat Gader excavations. According to the numismatic evidence, the slope east of ‘Ein el-Jarab was first settled during the second half of the fourth century CE (Straum 4). The bulk of the coins assigned to Stratum 3 date to the fourth–sixth centuries CE, the latest belonging to the Umayyad caliph al-Walid I, dated to the beginning of the eighth century CE and an Umayyad post-Reform fals. All the coins associated with Stratum 2 are Umayyad post-Reform issues, for the most part dating to the eighth century CE. No coins were associated with Stratum 1.
