    Great coins @Mat and everyone. Also great info in this thread. I wasn’t aware that Egypt was a closed economy even while part of the empire.

    I was outbid on all of the Pius Alexandrian coinage in January in the Triton sale but this one found its way back to me privately a few months ago. It's a satisfyingly chunky coin:

    Serapis.jpg

    Dated RY 3 (AD 139/140). Æ Drachm, 25.67g (34mm, 12h). AVT K • T AIΛ A∆P • ANTωNINOC ЄVCЄB •, bareheaded, draped, and cuirassed bust right / Draped bust right of Serapis, wearing an ornate kalathos; L Γ (date) across field.

    Pedigree: From the Giovanni Maria Staffieri Collection, purchased from Dr. Piero Beretta, Milan, November 1972. Ex Dr. Piero Beretta Collection (Milan); Giovanni Dattari Collection, no. 8668

    References: Köln –; Dattari (Savio) 8668 (this coin); K&G –; Emmett 1647.3 (R5); Staffieri, Alexandria In Nummis 114 (this coin)
