<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1795629, member: 19463&quot;]Travelling to Africa required a means of transportation, perhaps a nice boat.&nbsp; I previously believed that TELLVS STABIL referred to home for safety from earthquakes but the figure with farm implements suggests that the hope was a consistent bountiful crop (much of which was grown in Egypt).&nbsp; After you get to Africa (referring to places west of Egypt, I suspect), perhaps you will want a city specific ALEXANDRIA coin.&nbsp; I deeply regret that no emperor saw fit to issue a coin from Giza with pyramids.&nbsp;&nbsp; Finally, lest anyone think Hadrian went to Africa just for vacation, consider this as honoring his raising the continent from squalor through various building programs.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]290576[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]290577[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]290578[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]290579[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
