<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ardatirion, post: 768327, member: 9204&quot;]Mr Garcia - Your open-ended view of epigraphy is at least in line with your unique writing style. I find myself forced to guess your intent with every sentence! To believe that the clearly Latin legends on this coin are written in modern Hebrew is deluded at best. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try one last time to make it clear: IMP(ERATOR) DIVI F(ILIVS), COL(ONIA) NEM(AVSVS). Imperator, son of the god. City of Nemausus. </p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t believe Nemausus was a real city? Seutonius&#039; <i>Lives </i>Agrippa 1: &quot;In B. C. 19, Agrippa went into Gaul.&nbsp; He pacified the turbulent natives, and constructed four great public roads and a splendid aqueduct at Nemausus. From thence he proceeded to Spain, and subdued the Cantabrians, after a short but bloody and obstinate struggle...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Or maybe if you looked at the emblem of the modern city of Nimes?</p><p><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Emblemedenimes.JPG/800px-Emblemedenimes.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder how you would interepet E PLVRIBVS VNVM?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
