Pompey conquered the entire region and it became a Roman province in 64 BC - the Roman presence there lasted for a good three centuries. But I can&#039;t identify the bust on the obverse. There&#039;s a new reference book for Syrian coins, but unfortunately I don&#039;t own it yet - it&#039;s on the expensive side: $150. I&#039;m afraid that&#039;s the best I can do.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
