Australasian Coin & Banknote Magazine
- Monthly articles prepared by Dr Peter E. Lewis on selected coins.

According to the NT Gospels, Jesus was from the previously unknown village of Nazareth in the lower Galilee. Just a few km away was the royal city of Sepphoris, which is not once mentioned in the New Testament. The coins recovered from various excavation sites in and around Nazareth combine with other archaeological finds to help us assess Jesus’ hometown in the first century as well as subsequent developments.
