HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 26548 Posts	Posted 09/15/2024 11:18 pm Glad I could bring some laughter to you world, Dearborn! Wait - you're laughing with me, right? The coin depicts Mammes of Caesarea, who lived in the 3rd Century. There are many stories of his life - mostly grand embellishments. But there must have been a lion involved in there somewhere. My favorite is from Cyprus: Quote: In Cyprus, Mammes is popularly known as a poor hermit who lived in a cave near the town of Morphou. According to local legend, he lived in very poor circumstances, and when the authorities tried to tax him, he evaded them. Soldiers were sent out and they captured him, but on the way back to town, Mammes saw a lion attacking a lamb, escaped the soldiers, saved the lamb, jumped on the lion's back, and rode it into town. His bravery earned him exemption from taxation.
