<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ancient coin hunter, post: 7779387, member: 87200&quot;]I posted a thread <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gold-medallion-of-caracalla.374324/#post-5604114" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/gold-medallion-of-caracalla.374324/#post-5604114">here</a> about the Caracalla medallion found in Egypt featuring Alexander the Great on one side and Caracalla in heroic pose on the other side. Certainly this was not a &quot;coin&quot; in the traditional sense but hearkens back to Caracalla&#039;s schizophrenic belief that he was a reincarnation of Alexander.</p><p><br /></p><p>It may have been a presentation piece to the legion he outfitted with Macedonian weapons and armor in commemoration of Alexander. Closest thing to a &quot;proof&quot; that they might have produced at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1334585[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1334586[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
