For the Ladies of Cointalk and the Phoenicians ...

It is gal appreciation month, and since they and the culture known by many names get overlooked sometimes, i dedicate this thread to them both.

Feel free to comment and post!

Wow @Mikey Zee , you are pounding out some nice TETS!

 

A couple of ladies...

 

Ummmm, did I accidentally post any dainty fellas?!

 

Well, I can start with a couple of Phoenicians:

Sidon, King 'Abd'ashtart I (c. 365-356 BC).

Arados, 2nd century BC.

Next, the Parthian queen Musa, with her son/husband Phraataces. (Free advice: Don't try to replicate that son/husband combo.)

Some Roman ladies: A pair of Lucillas-


And a Faustina Junior:

And finally, a modern coin with Sacagawea and an illustration of "Three Sisters" agriculture:
