| Thyatira was a center of trade. Textiles were among Thyatira’s most important products. One of the town’s cloth merchants was a woman named Lydia, who conducted business as far away as Philippi (Acts 16:14). The coins from Thyatira shown above convey a sense of prosperity. The image on the left emphasizes fruitfulness. Images on the right weave together images of serpents. | ||||
