<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3283366, member: 72790&quot;]Last week I posted my wife&#039;s Saturnalia gift to me. Yesterday one of my daughters sent me two coins she purchased for me from a dealer near her home. I asked her to pick out something that struck her eye and she picked the Tiberius As with the globe and rudder, and the Domitian denarius.[ATTACH=full]868101[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]868102[/ATTACH] Tiberius was a devotee of astrology (not navigation or commerce or geography) and he (or a smart moneyer) put together this image of globe and rudder to demonstrate that cosmic forces guide the world. The denarius of Domitian she chose was because of the many talents that Minerva (Athena) exemplified, especially wisdom. When my children were very little I used to read and tell bed time stories from ancient mythology. Though adult young ladies now, they still recall these stories, much to my delight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
