Abstract


The coinages of the Taifas still constitute an invaluable source of historical information, extremely useful for the study of the political and ideological evolution of al-Andalus after the fall of the Caliphate. The coins of the Hūdides of Saragossa, and particularly those struck by the founder of this dynasty Sulaymān al-Musta‘īn are a good example of what the different inscriptions on coins can tell us concerning the political situation in the first years of this dynasty. This article deals with a particular and rare type of silver coins attributed to the first Hūdide, Sulaymān, that holds a very problematic Shiite slogan (related to the Wilāya of ‘Alī), and tries to discuss its ideological significance and the different political circumstances that might have justified its appearance on this type of issues.
