<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2254224, member: 42773&quot;]In certain provinces, a few themes indigenous to the local cultures are repeated relentlessly on the coinage. That is not the case with Philippopolis. If you look through all the coinage of this city, you&#039;ll find practically all the major gods and goddesses of the time being portrayed, either in their original Greek aspects or in their Roman forms. If you want to collect gods on provincial coins, Philippopolis is the place to go!</p><p><br /></p><p>So I know it takes a little mystery out of it, but why wouldn&#039;t Eros be depicted? He&#039;s just one more major god in the pantheon - that doesn&#039;t take anything away from the OP coin, the type is quite scarce and desirable. </p><p><br /></p><p>2000 years from now will someone ask, &quot;Why did they put Millard Filmore on a coin?&quot; And the answer will be the same: they were putting them ALL on coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
