Herod the Great (c. 72 BC – c. 4 AD) was a Roman Edomite client king of the Herodian Kingdom of Judea. 

When he completed the temple of Jerusalem in 18 BC he wanted direct control over a single coin that could be used to pay the official temple tax. 

Therefore, Herod transferred the mint from Tyre to Jerusalem.
