[QUOTE="NewStyleKing, post: 5147538, member: 106483"]Beatyls are interesting things. They represent the God Mountain and often as meteorites have a celestial link too making them even more sacred. The god(s) of high places has long been a religious pull and is common in the old testament and other close by religions, eg in Nabatea and Arabia. There is a Beatyl in a museum somewhere and it is noteworthy that that faith which must not be mentioned probably has a small portion of one tucked into a representative of one in a fabled ground. The omphalos is a Beatyl and is associated with the sun god Apollo so appears on Greek coins of the Seleucids, on Myrina Apollo Grineious tets and on this Athens NewStyle which is a post-Sullan coin.

Rev: NEW Rev : ΑΘΕ ethnic Owl standing on overturned panathenaic amphora on which month mark B control [] below 2 magistrates : KLEOPHANES EPITHETHES RF symbol : Beatyl with Fillets All surrounded by an olive wreath. Sacred objects were often covered with coloured strips of cloth to denote their sacredness, Beatyl above,Thyrsos and animals due to sacrifice.[/QUOTE]
