<p>[QUOTE="ancient coin hunter, post: 3112584, member: 87200"]Great coins everybody. I now have ten Alexandrian tets in my collection as I am starting to pick up the pace a bit in acquiring them. The next thing to do is nab some of those nice big 2nd century drachms with the very interesting reverse types, who knows may try to get one of Antinuos. After all I've been to Antinopolis (el-Sheikh el-Bada today) and seen some of the ruins. Unfortunately there's not much left. The local villagers consider the site haunted by evil Jinn, so it is hard to get them very excited about showing you around. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is an 18th century representation of a triumphal arch partially intact. Also, the locals have dismantled most of the ruins to build sugar cane processing ovens, which is the dominant crop in the area. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]790118[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
