<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 8088074, member: 87200"]Interesting concepts in the thread. Gibbon also blamed Christianity for the loss of martial vigor amongst the youths of the empire. As one can tell from the vast array of local religious types on Roman provincial coins, the Romans went out of their way to support local tradition, with Greek myths celebrated in the Koine Greek speaking lands, city protectresses such as Tyche invoked, and Egyptian motifs in Alexandria. As mentioned above Judaea was one of the exceptions as they had destroyed two Roman legions in the early stages of the revolt in Flavian times.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
