The Rouge Dragon

The griffin we see on this coin of Phocaea, looks very familiar. 
Could it be the same griffin, or dragon, that is the very symbol of 
Wales, and is the dragon of King Arthur's standard?

Perhaps the Romans employed it after overcoming the Phocaeans (and 
not the Parthians) who were in the British Isles. Were they in 
India, too? According the the Arbroath, the Scots descend from the 
Scythians who were in India. Queen Scota was a daughter of a 
Pharough whom the Phocaeans made warred with. Who are these people 
of the Rouge Dragon? For four years I have been tracing them, and 
conclude they are the Rhos, or Ros people. I will reveal their core 
identity in my book.

The dragon has long been a symbol of Wales. It features (in its 
proper red colour) on the national flag and is often to be found 
marking goods of Welsh origin. How did this exotic oriental beast 
find its way to Wales? The dragon was perhaps first seen in Wales in 
Roman times. The Romans were thought to have gained knowledge of the 
dragon from their Parthian enemies (in lands later to become part of 
the great Persian Empire) and it is to be seen carved on Trajan's 
column. It is probable that the dragon had been seen in  the West 
much earlier than this, as a result of Alexander the Great's epic 
journey which commenced it 334 B.C. Alexander marched as far as 
northern India and after his death, the break up of his mighty 
empire  saw an increase in trade with Africa and India and for the 
first time commerce with China.
