<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 8283750, member: 38412"]Hello. A coin-friend collector sent me an info about a rare coin which was published on the Internet. It was found accidently in South Karmel last month. The coin was struck in Gefa-Philippi under Antoninus Pius and has "Men", the god of the moon on reverse. The term Men was latinized by Emperor Caracalla. Maybe from Men derives our moon !. He then said that he had just found a similar one and don't know what to do. I have photos of both coins on my iPhone. The coin of South Karmel is detained by the Authorities of Antiquities there. Now why would such a coin be of such importance. Is it because of the god Men who was worshipped far back in History during the times of the Canaanites and the Hebrews. I also noticed that I might have a similar coin which was struck under Marcus Aurelius. But I'm not very sure if Men is on the reverse. He is usually shown with a Phyrgian cap. Here's mine first, and thank you for your assistance whatsoever.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1463265[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1463267[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
