The lily is an old Jewish symbol which was already used as a coin image by John Hyrcanus and Alexander Jannaeus. The shoshannah could be understood as a symbol for Israel, cf. Romanoff 45-51; Meshorer, Treasury, 34 f. Taylor 2006, 558 points out that Greeks and Romans linked this flower with Hera or Juno with whom the empress Livia was associated. Therefore, the lily’s polysemy made such a coin image eligible also for the Romans.
