"The authors tackle all aspects of the coinage of Herod and exhaustively discuss numismatic, economic, archaeological and historical questions concerning money in the kingdom of Herod (…) The book is definitely a milestone in studies on the material culture of Herod." - Israel Numismatic Research, Vol. 7 (December 2012)
"Ariel and Fontanille have done a monumental job of gathering available evidence and presenting it coherently. The Coins of Herod sheds fresh light on many aspects of the coins of Herod, including their chronology, and it is a “must have” for every numismatic and historic library that deals with the ancient Holy Land. Ariel and Fontanille’s work will be the basis for all important scholarly discussions in the future." - Biblical Archaeology Review, Vol. 38 No. 4 (July/August 2012)
"An important addition to the literature of the ancient coinage of the Land of Israel." - Bulletin of the Anglo-Israel Archaeological Society, Vol. 30 (2012)
