<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gil-galad, post: 1670199, member: 44154&quot;]Now I am home and I am reading this book. It has several maps at the beginning of the book. They are well done and it looks like most of them have their ancient names instead of modern ones, which is good.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some reviewer was complaining about Egypt being called Aegyptus, which I think is the right ancient name for that region. So, I just looked it up and read it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Coins are actually mentioned in this article but to sum it up as briefly as I can; During Roman times Aegyptus was very fertile and produced a lot of grain along with other resources. And thus Aegyptus was briefly usurped many times as evidenced by a great amount of provincial coinage issued at Alexandria.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
