[/qb][/QUOTE]i don't want no regurgitation you must remember that the Phoenicians are not Greeks so coins would not be used by them the gods and goddesses that are depicted on the coins of Phoenicia are Greek and roman gods not Phoenician (Phoenicians did not wear "laurels") the Greeks used to trade with Phoenicians and Alexander the great conquered Phoenicia if you keep insisting that the coins are Phoenician then you will have to prove it [/QB][/QUOTE]
