<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cmezner, post: 26556849, member: 87809&quot;]Accoding to the Egyptian calendar, Year 1 of Aurelianus was Autumn 270. However, when Aurelianus recovered Egypt: his year 1 was 269/270. Thus year 6 for this coinage is 274/275.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bi Tetradrachm (Potin)</p><p>Egypt, Alexandria, 274 / 275 AD</p><p>19 mm; haven&#039;t weighted it yet.
