<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 3391628, member: 38412&quot;]Correct.. Very nice sleuthing [USER=96413]@Factor[/USER], new coin-friend. The reverse shows a hexastyle temple including a burning altar. Eagle with opening wings on&nbsp; top of pediment. Spijkerman 2&nbsp; - SGI 2695.</p><p>Since it&#039;s from Dium in Syria, the coin might be considered as biblical because Dium is one of the Decapolis (10 cities) mentioned in the Gospel. Jesus told his apostles that the people of Israel would try to find refuge in the Decapolis in case they were threatened by catastrophes or bloody invasions or massacres etc... Among the Decapolis, I remember Philadelphia (Currently Amman, the capital of Jordan ).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
