The Christian connotation linked to many ancient coins is a stretch. The Domitian coins featuring the trophy of arms on the reverse are often marketed as Judaea Capta coins. I think [USER=82616]@David Atherton[/USER] &#039;s theory that the Domitian coins are more likely commemoratives of victories in Britain is a solid one. An interesting marketing campaign is how Indo-Scythian drachma are often sold as coins of the Wise Men.</font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">Anyway, after all—these attempts to link Biblical history with certain types of coins is what opened the fabulous door of ancient coin collecting for me so I can&#039;t knock it too much. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Georgia">[ATTACH=full]800697[/ATTACH] </font></p><p><font face="Georgia"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
