<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 21156, member: 57463&quot;]From the other side of the family come these two from the ancient town of Panormos, now known as Palermo.&nbsp; Panormos had been a Greek town originally before falling under the sway of Carthage.&nbsp; (In Greek, &quot;Pan ormos&quot; means &quot;all ready.&quot;&nbsp; The town was at first just a safe harbor for outfitting and repairing ships.&nbsp; We see the root word in &quot;hormone&quot; which is a pre-cursor chemical that &quot;makes ready&quot; some other action.)</p><p><br /></p><p>This coin is not from my collection.&nbsp; I have owned coins of Panormos, but hold none now.&nbsp; They tend to be small and unexciting.&nbsp; These are larger, and in fact, have Punic, not Greek letters.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
