[/QUOTE]: [QUOTE]Originally posted by the questioner: perhaps to show case Phoenician dominance over Greek people or Greeks to have a translation for Greek dominance over Phoenician people (historians can only guess) [/QUOTE]the coin has Phoenician writing on so that people who read Phoenician can read it. There are many sources that say the Phoenicians had a mint in Tyre, Lebanon It would be more reasonable that you acknowledge that the Phoenicians and Carthaginians had coins, coins with Phoenician writing on them and used these coins to exchange for goods but then argue that the Gods depicted on these Phoenician/Carthaginian coins were Greek That is more worthy of consideration than to say they didn't have coins [/QB][/QUOTE]
