<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Parthicus, post: 2736895, member: 81887&quot;]The fourth coin is from the Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt, founded by Ptolemy I (a general of Alexander the Great) in 305 BC and lasting until the death of Cleopatra VII (the famous Cleopatra, lover of Marc Antony) in 30 BC.&nbsp; On the reverse I can make out the name Ptolemy, but that doesn&#039;t narrow it down much- every single king of this dynasty used the name Ptolemy, so attributing these coins to a specific ruler is difficult.&nbsp; Still a cool coin, no matter which Ptolemy.</p><p><br /></p><p>Also, you might get more replies if you start posting over in the Ancients section.&nbsp; True, they do sometimes call us the Dark Side, but it&#039;s really friendly there, and there are lots of incredibly knowledgeable folks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
