Arwad
weight 10,29gr. | silver Ø circa 20mm.
obv. Laureate and bearded head of Ba′al-Arwad (Lord of Arwad) right
rev. Phoenician bireme (war galley) right on three lines of waves, figure
of Pataikos right on prow, row of shield on bulwalk. Phoenician letters
“Mem Aleph” (= Melech Arwad = King of Arwad) and numeral LIIIII (= 15) above
Early coins of Arwad (Greek Arados) have the Aramaic letters mem aleph (read from right to left) above the galley, abbreviating Melech Arwad (meaning King of Arwad), sometimes followed by the king′s initial, and sometimes by the Phoenician regnal year date.
Arados (modern Arwad, Syria) is located on an island about 2 miles off the eastern Mediterranean coast. Although not as large as its fellow Phoenician cities Sidon and Tyre, it has an equally long history. It was captured by the Egyptian pharaoh Thutmose III in 1472 BC, and is mentioned in the campaign records of Ramesses II it is also mentioned in the Biblical books of Genesis and Ezekiel. Like the rest of Phoenicia, it was subject to the Achaemenid Persians, and it formed a loose league with Sidon and Tyre. It began issuing coins in the late fifth century. Arados submitted to Alexander the Great without a fight, and even sent ships to help him conquer Tyre. (So much for their alliance.) The city continued to be of some importance through Seleucid and Roman times, but has declined since then.
The Phoenicians, a Semetic people, developed remarkable proficiency in shipbuilding, seafaring and trade, as the prophet Ezekiel (lived circa 622 – 570 BC) observed. Phoenicians invented the alphabet, which their Greek neighbours and trading partners adopted and transmitted to us. In turn, they acquired the idea of coinage from the Greeks, and the coins of the half-dozen Phoenician city-states give us a window into their history and beliefs. Like so many things in ancient numismatics, the date and identity of the first Phoenician coins are uncertain. The earliest date generally accepted by scholars is about 450 BC. Initially, the coins were all silver–from distant mines in Spain and possibly Sardinia–with weights based on variations of the Babylonian shekel of 7.2 grams. Very small fractions were issued, down to 1/24 shekel (about half a gram, and 10 mm in diameter).
