Comments

Gens Plautia była plebejską rodziną.

"Żyd Bachus" klęczący w błaganiu na rewersie tego dzieła to prawie na pewno Juda Arystobul II, który próbował uzurpować tron Judei od swojego brata Jana Hyrcanusa II między 67 a 63 r. p.n.e. Pompejusz Wielki stanął po stronie Hyrcanusa i poddał Jerozolimę brutalnemu oblężeniu i splądrowaniu. Pompejusz Wielki stanął po stronie Hyrkanusa i poddał Jerozolimę brutalnemu oblężeniu i splądrowaniu w celu obalenia uzurpatora Arystobula. Zmuszony do uklęknięcia przed Pompejuszem, Arystobul mógł żyć jako zakładnik w Rzymie, ale później uciekł i próbował odzyskać tron, ale został ponownie udaremniony przez porucznika Pompejusza, M. Aemiliusa Scaurusa. Termin "Bachus" może odnosić się do rzymskiego błędnego przekonania, że zhellenizowani Żydzi, tacy jak Arystobul, czcili Dionizosa, którego Rzymianie znali jako Bachusa.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The gens Plautia was a plebeian family.

The 'Bacchius the Jew' shown kneeling on supplication on the reverse of this piece is almost certainly Judah Aristobulus II, who attempted to usurp the throne of Judea from his brother John Hyrcanus II between 67 and 63 BC. Pompey the Great sided with Hyrcanus and subjected Jerusalem to a brutal siege and sacking to depose the usurper Aristobulus. Forced to kneel in submission to Pompey, Aristobulus was permitted to live as a hostage in Rome, but later escaped and tried to resume the throne, only to be thwarted again by Pompey's lieutenant M. Aemilius Scaurus. The term 'Bacchius' may refer to the Roman misconception that Hellenized Jews like Aristobulus worshipped Dionysus, whom the Romans knew as Bacchus.
