Abstract
Summary. - The four coin assemblages presented here appeared at various times on the Jerusalem market. The first one, a hoard of Alexander tetradrachms, was buried early after his death, about 320 ; Zeus crosses legs on one coin only. The 31 Alexander drachms of the second assemblage are only part of a larger hoard, the burying of which is difficult to date precisely since the missing part may have been important. The less homogenous third assemblage comprises two parts : 4 Pamphylian alexanders and a Sidetan tetradrachm with contremarks, on the one hand, and 5 identical Antiochus VIII tetradrachms, on the other hand. The fourth hoard contains bronze coins of Ptolemy I and II ; buried around 270, it gives an idea about the circulation of the bronze coins, the study of which is not enough developped.
