Corinth was an important Greek city in Biblical times, located at the crossroads of land and sea trade routes. Paul introduced Christianity to Corinth in 50-52 A.D. The congregation had difficulty changing from their pagan past, so Paul had to send them new leaders, write at least four letters including 1 and 2 Corinthians, and even visit again himself.

The pictures on this coin, Pegasus and Athena, were typical on Corinthian coins for hundreds of years. (This coin dates about 450-430 B.C.)

Today the Pegasus, Unicorn, rainbow, and other symbols are being used by the New Age Movement in their effort to restore the rule of paganism, occult, and Hinduism throughout the world.
