Anyone know why only Roman coins from the reigns of Titus and Hadrian have the Christian symbol of the "anchor and the fish" ?

It's a tie in to Augustus' adage "Festina Lente,"  (Hasten Slowly.)  The anchor represents slowness and the dolphin ( not just a fish) represents swiftness.  Titus used it as a way to tie his dynasty to the Julio-Claudians.

Had nothing to do with fucking xhristards.

Thanks.
I see that dolphins were also used for a few hundred years by then.

When we visited Greece some years ago we bought a replica pottery piece at a tourist trap that was decorated in dolphins.  It was a copy of a Minoan original from the Middle Bronze Age.  So, yeah.  Dolphins were special to the ancients.

I'm not sure about the reigns of Titus and Hadrian but this is the information on the denarii in Matthew that is completely out of place.

I'm sure by the time the gospel bullshitters were inventing their tales the Denarius was in general usage throughout the region.

How can I view your magical video? 

Example - 'Click' (Official Video) (OUT NOW)

A video showing you how to view a private video? Linky? 

But then your lack of interest in replying to direct questions is well noted. I thought I would ask anyway.
