<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rexesq, post: 1372470, member: 5739&quot;]But are you certain that it is Nilus on this coin ? I mean it looks very very similar to the one in the link, but I don&#039;t see the crocodile, and not just because of wear.... it doesnt appear to be there, and Nilus or whomever is reclining is resting an elbow on something that looks like a lion or a sphinx.... Or did they perhaps mint some with the croc and some with whatever this one has of Nilus? I just want to make sure I have the right info, since I have a Radiat Trajan Tet with Nilus on the reverse that was sold as being Zeus and I thought it was Zeus for a long time, and if not for a small cornucopiae behind his head, I may have never known that it was Nilus and not Zeus..... so little things like that (the things in the backround or what the people/Gods are holding, leaning against etc.) seem to make a significant difference in who that God/Person may be. Just double checking, thanks for the info mate!</p><p><br /></p><p>I will post some new pics when I get a chance to take them, I also bought a cool new &#039;PAX AUGUSTI&#039; Sestertius of Severus Alexander from the same person I got this Alexandria Bronze Drachm of Hadrian from. The sestertius is not in great shape but a cool coin none the less.... and it was close to the same price as this Hadrian Drachm of Alexandria.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only thing I wish this AE Drachm had, was the Greek numeral &#039;16&#039; on the reverse at 12 o&#039;clock clearly visible. That is some interesting history to go with the coin and time period.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
