    My second Agathadaemon of the year, man I love these weird issues from Roman Egypt! They certainly came up with some of the most creative themes in ancient coinage. A man headed snake riding a decorated horse!

    The coin is most definitely not the prettiest one, but it's the norm for these Egyptian provincial issues, it has some corrosion and encrustations on the obverse, but I didn't buy the coin for the bust of Ant pi.
