    Not an expert on Alexandrian coins, but it looks like Hadrian to me.
    Those who know Alexandria coins better: Do you think the portrait style varies more on Hadrians coinage than on those of other emperors?

    Thank you very much, this catalog is very good and everything is there by years, as I expected to look for. The catalog is just great.
