<p>[QUOTE="7Calbrey, post: 2058009, member: 38412"]It is by luck that I read Phoenician letters. Please notice that the inscription above Doug's ship is totally different than mine. You know that the Greek alphabet derives from the Phoenician alphabet. The latter is read from right to left, just like Hebrew or Arabic. Well, reading from right to left above Doug's ship We find the 2 Phoenician letters Alef and Ra . That would stand for Arados in ancient Phoenicia. </p><p> As for my coin, the first Phoenician letter above the prow is Noun which stands for the Latin letter N. What could that mean ? I don't know . Maybe I need to clean the coin to read all the letters.</p><p> Please let me read your opinion. </p><p> Thanks.. Charles[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
