<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 775814, member: 6370&quot;]They are thinking on Latin because that was the language used by the Romans and what they used on these particular coins. This coin is not Hebrew and contains no Hebrew text and any transliteration into Hebrew would be, as you say, &#039;imagination or invention&#039;. I have no problem with Hebrew culture and own coins that ARE Hebrew. This is a Roman coin and the inscriptions and images are well known devices. The portrait is of Nero as the coin clearly states and the coin itself states the building is the place of Janus.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>By transliteration you are NOT putting forth an alternative &#039;translation&#039; and if you can hack a Hebrew word out of the Latin, that is, again, coincidental or simply imagination and invention. Please be sure to stress that you are inventing something new from what is actually there.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>May I ask you how it is you began to link all these ancient coins to Hebrew? Why it is you started transliterating coins in this way and what actual purpose you think it is serving?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
