<p>[QUOTE="John Anthony, post: 2032554, member: 42773"]These are autonomous issues of Antioch. The idea that the star represents the star of Bethlehem described in the Bible is a modern fabrication, if you ask me. The Ram is the sign of Aries, and stars occur on many, many ancient coins. Does the star on this coin represent something special? Something different than an ordinary star? Maybe, but there's no way to prove it. Still, they are wonderful coins, and yours is a particularly nice example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
