The coin , the Æ24 - Traianus (Sepphoris) (98-117) from Sepphoris (Judaea), is a rare example of a Roman coin that was minted outside of Rome. It was produced in the city of Sepphoris, which is now located in modern-day Israel, during the reign of Emperor Trajan (98-117 AD). This coin is a testament to the widespread influence of the Roman Empire and its currency during that time period.
