Following yesterday's post, here's the second coin from my first ancient coin purchase: an As of Gades (Cádiz), c. 100–20 BC.
The obverse shows Hercules (identified by the Phoenicians with Melqart), while the reverse features two tunas, a symbol of Gades' fishing trade.

De Romeinen stelden de Griekse Hera gelijk aan hun eigen Juno, de Grieken stelden de Fenicische Melqart gelijk aan hun eigen Herakles. Griekse geleerden bespraken of ze de god van de joden gelijk konden stellen aan hun eigen Dionysos.

Melqart was worshipped there alongside Eshmun, in a sanctuary linked to healing. He is also attested in theophoric names carrying his divine name, such as Bodmelqart, “in the hands of Melqart.” nowlebanon.com/melqart-lord...

Excited to start my ancient coin collection! 🤩
I just acquired two Phoenician bronze coins from Gades (Cádiz, Spain), dating to c. 200–100 BC.
They depict Melqart, the chief god of ancient Gades and protector of trade and seafarers, with two tunas on the reverse.

"Naviguer jusqu’à Tyr, la légendaire ? Chaque année, Carthage envoyait encore un tribut destiné à Melqart au grand temple de la cité phénicienne, mais était-ce possible aujourd'hui ?" :/
Tyr, l'une des plus anciennes cités du monde méditerranéen, a été la cible de plusieurs frappes. Ses ruines antiques n'ont pour seule protection que le "bouclier bleu" de l'Unesco.

At risk of implying similarity between the U.S. and Rome, every Mediterranean naval encounter from 218 BCE onwards was also like the Ba’al Melqart, Lord of the Incense Altar versus six identical copies of the We Built This Yesterday supplied by a ship that did nothing but make garum for other ships.

Beter krijg ik deze foto van dit muntje niet. Het is geslagen door een Karthaagse munt en stelt de mannetjesputtergod voor die Herakles, Ochmos of Melqart werd genoemd. Maar omdat hij niet de gebruikelijke macho-baard heeft, moet dit een portret zijn vanHannibal. (Archeologisch museum, Alicante)
