Could be it’s the Nativity Star in the guy’s hand and the year is 3 A.D.

Can't be the Nativity Star. It's a Seleucid coin, and Pompey got rid of the Seleucids decades before the advent of Christ. Would be pretty cool if it was, though!

So there wasn't a secret Seleucid Society watching the skies in 2 or 3 A.D. and sending out camel-riding envoys? Bummer. ;)
