(20) Erik Christiansen proposed a new, possible denomination system for the Alexandrian bronze coinage in his recent two-volume set, The Roman Coins of Alexandria, that has much merit! This system consists of a drachm, hemidrachm, 1 112 obol coin or trihemiobol (diobol), 3/4 obol or hexachalkon (obol), trichalkon (dichalkon), and dichalkon (chalkon). I have chosen the traditional denominations (in parenthesis) for the purpose of this catalogue but as Mr. Christiansen notes, there is much need for further research in this area!

171 . Year 4(140/141 AD). JE Drachm. (19.59 gms.). Similar legend, laureate head right. [L T]ETAPTOV, Ares standing half-left as previous but at his feet, a goat standing left. Possibly unpublished type with goat on reverse. Near fine, holed, green-brown patina, very rare. (50) If the goat on the reverse is identified as a stag, then this type could be interpreted as "Ares of the Upper Sebennyte nome." However, the goat's "beard" is clearly visible thus negating the "stag theory." It is possible that the die-engraver did not understand or realize the importance of the "Upper Sebennyte nome type," and he substituted a goat for the stag out of ignorance!


180 . Year 5(141/142 AD). JE Drachm. (25.76 gms.). Similar legend, laureate head right. L-E, draped bust of Sarapis right, wearing modius. Köln 1411, Dem. 1610. VF/VF+, dark green-brown patina, slightly porous surfaces. (150)

(100) This coin was most likely struck during Pius' regnal year 5 in Alexandria. The bust type of Euthenia compares to similar bust types of other members of the Greco-Romano-Egyptian pantheon struck primarily during Pius' years 4 and 5. Conclusively, this coin shares the same obverse die as Köln 1387 (Canopi over eagle), also struck in year 5.

183 . Year 5(141/142 AD). JE Drachm. (26.26 gms.). Similar legend, laureate, draped and cuirassed bust right. L-E, conjoined busts right of Sarapis and Isis.

Museum acquisition numbers written in ink on edge of coin -179 & 1670 (or 1870).

187. Year 7(143/144 AD). JE Drachm. (25.06 gms.). Similar legend, bare-headed, draped and cuirassed bust right. Nike advancing left, holding wreath and trophy; before, L-Z. cf.

Barge of Sarapis: Sarapis seated left, Kerberos at his feet; before, Demeter right; behind, Tyche; all on a galley left with oars. Dattari 2860. Good Fine, dark green patina, very rare type. (250) This type is known for both year 2 (BMC 1207, Datt. 2859, Dem. 1553) and year 5. Based on the legend arrangement and portrait style, I have assigned it to year 5 since the date is illegible.

This pantheistic bust of Sarapis portrays him with the modius and atef crown, ram's horn of Ammon, radiate crown of Helios, trident of Poseidon combined with the serpent-staff of Asklepios, and the comucopiae of Nilus before. One of the more interesting reverse types in the Alexandrian series and scarce!

"Eos was the Greek goddess of 'morning,' and in Homer she accompanies Helios on his course [through the heavens].

The female figure who wears an elephant-skin headdress and holds a palm-branch is probably Alexandria, and with this legend, the coin may allude to the victory against the Parthians. This type only appears in Egypt.

II, #16 for reverse die (same dies as illustrated by Metcalf). Toned VF, rare. (75) Dr. Metcalf notes in his article [citing Milne] that contemporary forgeries of Alexandrian coins are rare and most counterfeits are of modern origin. The counterfeiter's hoard published by Metcalf was acquired by Ε. T, Newell at Luxor in March, 1908 and is now in the collection of the American Numismatic Society. Metcalf notes that "the 76 pieces still in the ANS may or may not represent the entire hoard, since Newell was in the habit of disposing of duplicates or damaged specimens." The above coin is more than likely one such coin disposed of by Newell.

(150) Vonones had spent much of his youth in Rome. We see this reflected in the shorter western hair style, the obverse legends and the adaptation of Victory on his drachms.
