Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 12:06 pm This is the second coin I have bought so far from the Roman era of Alexandria, Egypt. Antoninus Pius AE33 Drachm Ob: Laureate bust facing to the right. Rv: Horse, prancing to the right, Agathodaemon above. Weight: 17.72 gm Diameter: 33 x 33 x 2.5 mm Die axis: 0° Mint: Alexandria, 138 A D The only example I could find online was from here: http://www.ioffer.com/i/antoninus-p...in-507134329 As per usual, a lot of info on the emperor, what is a Agathodaemon but no info on a reference number, neither Köln, BMC, Emmett or Dattari. Antoninus had other similar issues from Alexandria with a "bust above a beast" theme: "AE33 Kronos bust, right, above Capricorn, right" Köln 1504; Dattari 2973 "AE33 Venus bust, left, above Taurus, left" Köln 1492-3; Dattari 2960 "AE31 Selene bust, right, above a cresent, above Cancer" Köln 1494; Dattari 2963 "AE Ammon bust, right, above Aries, right" BMC 679; Milne 2152 Report this Post to the Staff

Masis Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 946 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 1:29 pm I got to get a solution to treat that Bronze Disease. Though it seems to be all on the surface, rather than coming from inside, it will be a nuisance and is best removed. Report this Post to the Staff
