PtolemAEThe ancient
greeks called the
apple ΜΗΛΟΝ and the pomegranate ΣΙΔΗ,
as i know as greek (although the pomegranate in new greek is ΡΟΔΙ)
In my coin this fruit looks like very much to an
apple but for two reasons i think that is a pomegranate and
comes from
Pamphylia.
Firstly because there was the temple of Pergaia
Artemis (although this
bust of
Artemis is the same as to some coins from
Ephesos) and because the pomegranate has given the name to the city
Side in
Pamphylia.
Secondly because if somebody turn the photos upside down, he can see that the little thing under the ''apple'' can be the crown of a pomegranate fruit.
The strange is that a pomegranate doesnt have usually this shape.
