<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Limes, post: 8239223, member: 101013&quot;]That&#039;s a lovely drachm with a great looking pharos of Alexandria. Too bad your AP tetradrachm turned out fake, but I think the replacement is much better. I don&#039;t have facebook, but it seems good coins are for sale there too? I did not know that <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Anyway, I don&#039;t have a drachm, nor a coin of Isis, nor a coin of Alexandria, etcetc. But I DO have a denarius with a lighthouse, from Messana. Not one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, but I hope you&#039;ll accept me sharing it. </p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, Sear mentions the lighthouse shown on this denarius is topped with a statue of Neptune. I&#039;ve been looking for the identification of the statue on top of your lighthouse, but all I can find in various descriptions is (note, I did not extensively research your coin though): &quot;statue and two Tritons&quot;. Who is shown on top of the lighthouse of Alexandria? Is it Poseidon/Neptune? According to wikipedia it should/could be, but why is it not mentioned in the references I - quickly - found via acsearch?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1450008[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
