초록

페르시아 시기 예루살렘 상황은 구약성경의 증언 외에는 뚜렷이 알려진 바가 없다. 예후드 주화는 당대의 사회상을 재구성하는데 도움을 주는 성경외적 자료들 중 하나이다. 본 연구자는 이에 대한 선행 연구들을 일괄한 뒤, 예후드 주화들의 무게와 문양/명각의 시대적 변화에 집중하고자 한다. 이러한 일련의 흐름이 성경 텍스트의 역사서술과 어떠한 관계를 드러내는지 살펴보고, 당대의 사회상, 특별히 예루살렘 성전을 둘러싼 정치-경제적 상황에 대해 예후드 주화들이 알려주는 성경 외적 증언들에 주목해 보고자 한다.

영어초록

The political, religious, and social situation in Jerusalem during the Persian period (539-333 BCE) remains largely obscure and uncertain, primarily relying on Old Testament accounts. Additionally, the scarcity of archaeological evidence detailing conditions within and around Yehud, which was under Babylonian and Persian vassalage, poses challenges in reconstructing the social context of one of the most pivotal events in Israel's religious history during this era: the return of captives and the reconstruction of the Second Temple. Given the current limitations on archaeological excavations at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, Yehud coins offer crucial insights into the social landscape of the period. Although these coins are relatively scarce, an examination of their designs and inscriptions by period can provide valuable context regarding the Jerusalem Temple in Persian Yehud and the evolving power dynamics centered around the Temple.
While Yehud coins are still being discovered, Hendin reports a total of 41 types found to date. In a pioneering study, Ronen identified three primary categories of Persian-era Yehudite coinage: (1) coins stylized after Athenian currency; (2) coins featuring Hebrew symbols or portraits of Persian kings; and (3) coins displaying the face, name inscription of the governor of the Yehud region (Pehah) on the obverse side, and owl emblem on the reverse side. The socio-economic implications of these findings have also been explored in the research of scholars such as Peter Bedford, Peter Altmann, Joachim Schaper, and others. Building upon these prior studies, this research aims to reexamine temporal shifts in weight, design, and imprint of Yehud coins. Specifically, it will investigate how this chronological sequence reveals their connection to the historical narrative found in biblical texts and emphasize the extra-biblical insights provided by Yehud coins concerning the society of the time, particularly the political and economic dynamics surrounding the Temple in Jerusalem.
