Bronze Prutah of Paul the Apostle's prosecutor (52-60 AD)

Obverse: Greek letters NEP WNO C (Nero) in wreath. (Antonius Felix was the the Roman Procurator under the infamous Nero)

Reverse: Greek letters KAICAPOC (Caesar) Palm Branch.

After Paul the Apostle was arrested in Jerusalem and rescued from a plot against his life, the local Roman chiliarch transferred him to Caesarea, where he stood trial before Felix. On at least one further occasion Felix and his wife Drusilla heard Paul discourse, and later on frequently sent for Paul and talked with him (Acts 24:24-26).

When Felix was succeeded as procurator, having already detained Paul for two years, he left him imprisoned as a favor to the Jews (Acts 24:27).
