When someone says they have better evidence than Christianity ever had because Julius Caesar had coins of him, check this out...


Salome (/səˈloʊmiː/ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English);[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome#cite_note-1) Greek (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language): Σαλώμη Salōmē, pronounced [salóːmeː] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Greek); c. AD 14 – between 62 and 71[citation needed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)]) was the daughter of Herod II (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_II) and Herodias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodias). She is infamous for demanding and receiving the head of John the Baptist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_the_Baptist), according to the New Testament (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Testament), at ~22 years of age. According to Flavius Josephus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flavius_Josephus)'s Jewish Antiquities (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Antiquities), Salome was first married to Philip the Tetrarch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_the_Tetrarch) of Ituraea and Trakonitis. However, Herod Philip would have been 32 years old at the time of Salome's birth, as he was himself born in ~19 BCE. After Philip's death in 34 AD she married Aristobulus of Chalcis (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristobulus_of_Chalcis) and became queen of Chalcis and Armenia Minor. They had three children. Three coins with portraits of Aristobulus and Salome have been found.[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome#cite_note-2) Her name in Hebrew is שלומית (Shlomiẗ, pronounced [ʃlomiθ] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_Hebrew)) and is derived from the root word שָׁלוֹם (shalom), meaning "peace".[3] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome#cite_note-3)

The daughter of Herodias was Salome. Three coins exist of Salome. She was queen of Chalcis and Armenia Minor. Such obscure mention and by Josephus indicate credibility.

Very interesting,foreversaved.
The shown coin has the image of King Agrippa the First, who killed Christ's Apostle James and put Peter in prison as Acts 12:1-2 states. We also have coins with the image of King Agrippa the Second who actually speaks with Paul in Acts 26:28.http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5k1R8K5p93M/TAvT9h2D51I/AAAAAAAAJak/Miggcowi2jE/s320/agrip1_coin.gif (http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5k1R8K5p93M/TAvT9h2D51I/AAAAAAAAJak/Miggcowi2jE/s1600/agrip1_coin.gif)

The image on the coin shown above is of, Herod Agrippa the Second. Acts 12:1-2 just says Herod because he was the grandson of King Herod the Great(the king who tried to kill the child Jesus.)
