[QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by the lioness: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by dana marniche: [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/t02slg.jpg[/IMG] Coin said to be of the Moorish chief Juba I think we have to be careful of some of the sculptures posted on Eurowacky sites and wikipedia. Frankly we don't know what the Moorish rulers looked like, or Hannibal. Some of these sculptures being posted come from much later period. This coin which someone posted as Juba looks more to me like the Moorish Juba. He is wearing either dreadlocks or some other African style, he sports a beard (see Strabo) and has the trademark band around his head Moors were also known to have worn. Sorry, but the Moors certainly looked a lot more like your average dreaded Rastaman or MIKEY than like the Roman looking man you posted. And I think Juba may have been related to Cleopatra thru his Moorish blood. But i'm not sure. :) [/qb][/QUOTE]There were more than one king called Juba Juba I, same coin type better condition: [IMG]http://www.beastcoins.com/RomanProvincial/NorthAfrica-Numidia/JubaI-Sear6607.jpg[/IMG] ______________________________________ Juba II, [IMG]http://i-cias.com/e.o/ill/juba2_01.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4012/4375061312_417ed32cd2.jpg[/IMG] Juba II left, Ptolomy, right [IMG]http://coinproject.com/siteimages/97-823171.jpg[/IMG] Juba II [IMG]http://coinproject.com/siteimages/70-22815q00.jpg[/IMG] Juba II These kings were white people who colonized Africa , not dread locked rastafarians get off the crack pipe and stop boot licking when confronted wit hundreds of coins find the one that is the most worn out, hold your nose and then dive into the fantasy realm [/QB][/QUOTE]Your Snakiness - you can first get off the Eurowackforum pipe posting that nonsense of Roman coins showing white Moors and Carthaginians lol! That's even National Geographic had made an attempt to correct. That kind of forum is probably worse than crack cause it certainly has you all hyped up. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
