    Hello again. Here are the remaining items:
    So the sixth item depicts a new upgrade to the coin revealing the Aramaean god Hadad. It was struck at Dium of the Decapolis in Syria, under Emperor Geta. Number 7 was struck at "Charach-Moba" which literally means Fortress of Moab (Biblical). The city lies now in Jordan under the name of Karak. Obverse has Emperor Elagabalus, whereas reverse shows a rare historic altar of Arabian god "Dusares", before Islam.
    Number 8 was issued by Alexander Severus for the ancient Phoenician city of "Botrys", which is currently known as "Batroun" to the North of Byblos. Reverse shows Astarte in a 3D design temple. The nine item is a beautiful blue-glass jeton. As for the last item, it seems my luck of the year : A Meteorite weighing 2.7 Kg.
