A tough one guys! I was a God worshiped by many different people, I had many different names, but in this personification I have a special title. The orgins of my story predate the Greeks, I was first loved by the Minoans on Crete many thousands of years ago. I always assured that those who worshiped me where well fed, but never spent time in a kitchen. Here I appear in a land far for Greece. I was abducted once, and lived in another world. People throughout antiquity worshiped me in many ways, the Carthaginians even sacrificed there children or animals (in a 3:1 ratio) to insure my love...but here I am NOT Tanit! I have one of the largest cult followings and these people gave me a special name title! Who am I? Where is my coin from? What is my Title! AE 18mm c. 200-100 BC  |
