The ‘Josephus’ coin confirms that the name “antigonus” which is found in a book was also used in a coin.
What is this coin telling you? http://www.goddess-athena.org/Museum/Coins/index.htm ![]() Tetradrachm, silver - 460-450 BCE, Obv. Head Athena R., Rev. Owl Stg. R. Olive sprig, AOE. This coin is showing the goddess Athena whose name is also found in books. The coin tells me that non-existent men and women made of no flesh and no blood made this coin in the image of the historical figure of flesh and blood of historical Athena. Then I will look for a book in which this name is found to identify the composite non-existent men and women whose names are not found in coins. |

You are using the coin as religious people use divine revelation |

You seem to 'appeal to tradition' or 'appeal to origins' (the genetic fallacy).
History cannot refuse history, only a false or jaundiced view of history can do that. History can apply to traditions whether they be traditions of a culture or history of development and maintenance of a culture. |

“History Rejects the Assumption of a Historical Gospel Jesus Figure?”
In order to avoid reifying a construct, I'd like to rephrase this as: There is no evidence for an Historical Jesus Figure. Is that OK, Mary? Onias |
