The coins of Herod the Great (37–4 BCE), all of bronze as those of his successors, can be divided into two groups: those which are dated and those which are not.
As Herod no doubt reckoned his reign from his appointment as king of Judea by the Romans in 40 BCE and not from his actual accession three years later, the "year three" is equal to 37 BCE.

The study focuses on three crucial moments in the last century before the beginning of our Common Era: the end of the civil wars around 100 BCE, the years around the death of Cicero in 43 BCE and the start of Augustus' empire some twenty years later.
As we know very little of the literary production before 100 BCE, apart from the comedies of Plautus and Terence and short fragments in the shape of quotations and characterisations by later authors, this first 'turning point' cannot be assessed as easily as the successive ones, when both literary and painted material abound.
The weak methodological point of this study might be that wall painting is a rather modest branch of arts and crafts (as admitted by the author) when we look at the status of the makers but forms an enormously important aspect of the enhancement of private display during the period discussed.
