<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 3372557, member: 26302&quot;]I simply find it fascinating a coin from Arabia clearly has a Bactrian camel portrayed, not an Arabian one. The only idea I can come up with is they were advertising how Bostra was an end point of the great Silk Road, and there in Bostra the Silk Road merged with the Spice Road up from Yemen. If true, it would yield great wealth to Bostra. </p><p><br /></p><p>Half the reason I collect this coin is because a have a fairly large Silk Road coin collection, and to me this is a Roman coin also depicting this historical trade connection.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
