About the book
"This book recounts the heroic story of the Maccabees and explains how they successfully took on the might of the Seleucid realm, illustrated by the coins issued by the main protagonists. What was an epic struggle of an oppressed people to win their national and religious freedom has provided much inspiration through the ages and continues to strike a strong resonance in our own times. However, that historical drama, as recorded in 1 and 2 Maccabees, with its unfamiliar roll-call of major players and place-names, has acquired a considerable mystique. The coins put faces to many of these seemingly obscure names and help to bring those stirring events back to life"--Page 4 of cover.
