<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Calbrey, post: 3340069, member: 38412&quot;]Beryt was a famous Phoenician goddess. Her father, the greatest Phoenician god (Aal) offered her to Poseidon the Greek god of the sea in order to protect the city from high tides caused by Earthquakes (Tsunami). So Poseidon became Baal Beryt, that means the husband of Beryt. The city was named Berytus (Beirut now) by the Romans, and previously Berythos by the Greeks.</p><p>Beroe is another matter. She was the daughter of Roman goddess of love Venus. Hence the city of Beroea which lies now in Syria and is called Aleppo.</p><p>You&#039;re confusing between Beryt (Lebanon)- Phoenicia, and Beroea (Syria).</p><p>Hope I&#039;m right While writing this from Beirut. Please consider this humble opinion which was made after long research.&nbsp; BTW.. I have coins from Berytus and Beroea.</p><p>That would be Beirut and Aleppo.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
