I've had the pleasure of having some nice conversations with David back in the day when I was more into Biblical / Jewish coinage and going to shows; this is a great throwback. He is so engaging and entertaining. Very enjoyable; looking forward to more of the interview! (btw, you guys reacting is hilarious).

Ive never seen that Aries Zeus coin!
Great Podcast and interview of David. I would like to ask for a favor, I purchased Alexander the Great Tetradrachm last year, but I can't identify this coin very well. Could you please help me to identify it?

Hey Josh, did Alexander not already have the idea of being the son of Zeus after his mother told him the story of getting struck by lightning on the day of his conception?

Allegedly, but Alexander seeks confirmation of that while spending 2 months (from what I recall) with the oracle at Siwa.
