<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Macromius, post: 4959682, member: 90772&quot;]How long after Jesus and his mother first became known and venerated did they appear together on a <b>coin</b>? When did Isis and Horus/Harpocrates first appear in any medium?</p><p><br /></p><p>Wikipedia: <b>Harpocrates</b> (Ancient Greek: Ἁρποκράτης) was the god of silence, secrets and confidentiality in the Hellenistic religion developed in Ptolemaic Alexandria (and also an embodiment of hope, according to Plutarch). Harpocrates was adapted by the Greeks from the Egyptian child god Horus, who represented the newborn sun, rising each day at dawn. Harpocrates&#039;s name was a Hellenization of the Egyptian <i>Har-pa-khered</i> or <i>Heru-pa-khered</i>, meaning &quot;Horus the Child&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m talking history of ancient religion here, not just coin iconography![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
