<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jochen1, post: 3512833, member: 103829&quot;]The depicting on the reverse of the last coin shows that there have been any <i>certamina</i> or public sports festivals in Laodikeia. Perhaps it even concerns the Olympic Games, which took place under Caracalla even in Tyros. After Pausanias, Herakles was the founder of the Olympic Games.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the other side he and Dionysos were known as great drinkers and around Laodikeia there was important wine-growing. So this scene probably does not refer to a mythological event.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jochen[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
