The Apostle Paul was from Tarsus in Cilicia. He was born a Jew and followed the famous Rabbi Gamaliel. Tarsus at that time had a Jewish community living there. He was originally called Saul. Earlier in life he actually partook in the persecution of the early Jewish-Christians. Read more about his history here. On his way to Damascus he had a transformation. And the former persecutor of Jewish-Christians, decided to spread the new religion instead. His new name was Paul He revolutionized the Christian religion by having people not having to become Jewish first before becoming Christian. This led to the breaking of all ties between the Jewish Temple and the Christian Church. Apostle Paul may have traded in woven goods, and this may be the reasoning why he traveled around so much and did so many missionary activities. This is a list of all the cities and areas he visited on his travels. Most of these cities actually issued coins. And there are people that put together entire collections that follow St. Paul's four journeys. The cities that issued coins are easily clickable and you can actually see the coins from there, which are available for sale. It looks that eBay auto-corrects some spellings, so for some of the terms, you may need to click the [ Return to original search ] link to actually see the coins available, this is noted for coins of Philippi and Rhegion.
