The ancient city of Botrys was a Roman colony in Phoenicia. It's currently known as the coastal city of "Batroun". The city lies in Northern Lebanon, about 30 miles away of Beirut, and nearly 10 Km to the North of Byblos. That's the first coin in my collection that I acquire from this mint. The coin was struck under Alexander Severus and shows a wide temple with Astarte standing within.The temple seems a little bit in some perspective, but I'm not sure. It weighs 10.5 g. Feel free to post your coins of Botrys.
