Hasmonean inscriptions

Hasmonean inscriptions are ancient writings from the period of the Hasmonean dynasty (2nd century BCE) in Judea, often carved on stone or pottery. These inscriptions record official decrees, religious texts, or personal names, providing valuable insights into the political, religious, and social aspects of the era. They reveal details about governance, identity, and interactions with neighboring cultures. Studying these inscriptions helps historians understand the history of Jewish independence and the development of early Jewish identity in the Levant.
