Only recognized as a separate mint issue about 30 years ago, there are some rather nice denarii of Pertinax from Alexandria. They are...
When coins can only be dated to a long period like 443-400 BC and we really do not know what defined the dates as given, it is hard to use the...

I use fourree interchangeably with plated and include any of the formats discussed in Campbell, Greek and Roman Plated Coins. That does not...
