<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 2838317, member: 38412&quot;]Thanks for your friendly and educational concern. Wildwinds list this coin on the page of Arados -City and semi-Autonomous coinage. It&#039;s considered as a Stater listed as BMC 36a. They identify the deity on obverse as a sea-god. Of course that&#039;s not Poseidon here. The Phoenicians were known as &quot; Men of the Sea &quot;. They probably conceived this god.</p><p>The third letter N to upper left of reverse could well be the initial of a Phoenician king. I think we need here to look for the kings of Arados at that time and see if any of their names start with N ( Noon ).</p><p>Ancient Forum Coins consider the letters as Aramaic ( language spoken by Jesus Christ). Is it derived from Hebrew or Phonician? The&#039;re both Semitic anyway.</p><p>Yamm in Hebrew means the Sea. But in Phoenician it could also mean the same thing, as well as in other Semitic languages such as Arabic.</p><p>Hope I&#039;m coping well with this issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
