Shekel
of Tyre
|
|
|
In
ancient Jerusalem there was a chronic lack of good silver
coins. The only city nearby which produced them was Tyre,
a coastal city famous for the purple dye it extracted from
within the murex shell. As a hub of commerce, Tyre produced
many coins, and a good number found their way to Jerusalem.
The shekel was the common coin of the times and as such
was, most likely, the primary silver coin to reach Jerusalem,
and probably used to pay the Jewish temple tax. read

Valentinian
III, Following In His Uncle's Footsteps
|
|
|
Being
only fours years old at the time of his uncle Honorius'
death, Valentinian III could not have learned his ruling
skills from him. He did, however, develop many of Honorius'
habits of ruling. While a child emperor his mother, Galla
Placidia, was regent and ruled in his stead. Although emperor
for many years, Valentinian continued this delegation of
the actual ruling, with General Aetius following his mother
in the role. read

Back
To The Future
|
|
|
Of
all the gods worshiped by the Romans, few are as interesting
- both in appearance and in purpose - as Janus, the god
from which we derive the name of the month January. Janus
was unique to the Romans, and no parallel can be found in
the religion of the ancient Greeks. He had several functions,
but his most important was as the god responsible for beginnings
of new enterprises - hence the reason for the adoption of
his name for the first month of the year. Because of his
'Janiform' head (two heads co-joined at the back), he is
also associated with the wisdom of surveying both the past
and the future simultaneously. read
