Esoteric Coin: A Numismatic Study

Rate this book
Much of ancient coinage has a mysterious and esoteric character to it, yet we can follow the money trail and examine the legacy of great emperors whose deeds left a lasting legacy on the world stage. Through numismatic evidence we examine Roman Emperors Hadrian and Constantine 1. Hadrian and Constantine's coinage reflect much about the two emperors, whose lives are parallel yet intertwined in the blood drenched Roman Imperial mystery cults. Both were conferred “PATER PATRIAE” by the Roman Senate, an honorific title meaning, “Father of the Country / Father of the Fatherland” Hadrian was the most travelled of the Roman emperors and both Emperors founded new cult religions that had a profound effect on the Roman Empire, even to the present day. Hadrian set up the cult of Antinoüs, his dead homosexual boy lover and elevated him to the status of a new god. Emperor Constantine the Great set up the cult of the Chi-Rho symbol and the Mythological Christ, a very different Jesus from the biblical Jesus as revealed by numismatic evidence. Both Emperors founded new cities for their new cults. Hadrian build Antinopolis and Constantine build Constantinople. Both Emperors likely performed heiros gamos and blood sacrifice at the altar of Lugdunum. Both were Pontifex Maximus, high priests skilled in ritual magic and augury. Hadrian attempted to “re-found" Jerusalem as the city of Aelia Capitolina and build a temple to Jupiter on the the Temple Mount. What role did Imperial and mystery cults play in the minting and issue of their coinage? This book also examines the numismatic evidence concerning the Oracle of Delphi which may now be based and operating from the Lugdunum Altar in Lyon-France. Last but not least, evidence of sun worshiping cults from Ancient, European and Papal coinage is examined to unmask the rituals and beliefs.
