Are you being deliberately obtuse? I do not disagree with anything you say (or agree, I just don't know) but I was only referring to the British penny and the strikingly similar Phoenician coin.

Haven't found Britannia yet although there are quite a few of blokes sitting down playing a lyre.

And plenty of inscriptions with Cassi on them.

This coin is from the Atrebates and made with silver.

Was the Star of David a local sign does anyone know?

The Star of David features in all English sword dances whether long sword or rapper.

It's usually performed as one of the dancers sticks his head in the middle, wearing a top hat for safety, and his head is chopped off.

I saw someone lose most of his hand in this way. He had to leave his pint on the bar which was a shame.

I didn't know there were any Jewish money men in England before the Romans. But they probably came in with the Phoenicians and Hittites.

The church that faces Wittenham Clumps has a Star of David over the front door which I once photographed thinking it was curious. No idea when it was carved but I wondered if there was a Masonic connection since it's a pretty weird area, the local gentry had links to the Kit-Kat Club and some mad poet wrote verse on one of the Clump's trees.

It must have had significance for them otherwise they wouldn't have drawn it out. Although like Anglo Saxon and Celtic designs it is an interlaced design and a form of the cross.

There are videos on youtube where they experiment with harmonics and the different shapes produced when sand or powder is put on a horizontal plate that is subjected to vibrations at ever increasing frequencies.

I'm sure the Star of David appears at one point. And that's one of the simpler images that appear.
