[QUOTE="Jochen1, post: 3340315, member: 103829"]Dear 7Calbrey! Thank you for your post. But I don't agree. Your Beroia was originally a city in the Makedonian plains of Bottiaia (today Verria), named after Beroia, daughter of Beres. Aleppo, an age-old city in Syria from the 19th century BC, was occupied by Alexander III the Great in 333 BC and Seleukos I Nikator established there a Makedonian colony 301-281 BC under the name of Beroia. My coin is actually from Berytos (today Beirut) and the mythology belongs to the city of Berytos (today Beirut). Aleppo has never rules the waves as Berytos (= Beirut) has done. But I have to thank you for the advice to Beruth. And I will do some research. Literature: - Wikipedia: Aleppo - Der Kleine Pauly: Beroia - Wilhelm Heinrich Roscher: Beroia, Beruth Best regards[/QUOTE]
