<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 6291374, member: 110504&quot;][USER=26430]@Curtis[/USER], it&#039;s Truly Messing With My Head that there are whole Coins from the 4th c. BCE that have Aramaic legends on both sides!</p><p>How this could have influenced Syriac scripts, and languages, into the earlier 1st millennium CE is one question that&#039;s sailing over my head --but I&#039;m priviledged even to have been given occasion to ask it.&nbsp; Just where coins are concerned, the lettering has pretty unmistakable family resemblances to stuff ranging from Maccabean and later Jewish, to medieval Cilician Armenian, to Aksumite Ge&#039;ez (the last two alphabets having a common Syriac source).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
