<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 1831952, member: 56859&quot;]Here&#039;s my one Tacitus.&nbsp; Might benefit from some skilled cleaning/conservation, so I guess I&#039;ll leave it alone <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]302725[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p><b>EGYPT, Alexandria</b></p><p><b>Tacitus, 275/6 AD</b></p><p>potin tetradrachm, 20 mm, 7.5 gm</p><p>Obv:&nbsp; AKKL TAKITOC CEB; laureate and draped bust right</p><p>Rev: ETOYC-A; eagle standing left, head right with wreath in its beak</p><p>Ref:&nbsp; Milne 4510, Emmett 3974</p><p><i>Ex Professor James R.
