    The excavation at Pi Maẓuva (see Cinamon and Lerer, this volume) yielded eight bronze coins, six of which were identified. Except for one dating from the fourth century CE, all the coins date to the Byzantine and Early Islamic periods. The earliest coin (No. 1) belongs to Constantine I, and it was minted in the city of Lyon, France, in 314–315 CE. One half follis of Anastasius I (No. 2) was found, dating between 507 and 512 CE; on the coin’s reverse is a circular punchmark. Three coins dating from the seventh century CE were unearthed: two of Emperor Heraclius (Nos. 3, 4), which were minted in the same year (629/630 CE), and one Arab-Byzantine coin (No. 5). Coin Nos. 3 and 4 are overstruck follis and half follis; Coin No. 4 bears a countermark. Coin No. 6 is an Umayyad post-reform fals, dating from the eighth century CE.
