Elymais “The Book of Genesis Coin” Bronze Drachm Set
We are taking a closer look at the this special bronze set which was struck in 100-300AD by The Elymais, an ancient civilization which descended from Elam, son of Shem, son of Noah.
While there is an unclear emblem on the front, on the obverse we can make out a profile of a royal figure or King.
Check back on the 17th, Monday, for HD images and 1080 video of the drachma. We will explore the history of the Elymais, the etymologies around this drachma, and do our best to keep the spirit of Paleology alive!
