<p>[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3246996, member: 56859"]I'd switch the order of photos because generally speaking, and for this presumed era, the dated side would be the reverse. The woman has a Severan hairstyle and some version of the word Augstus. The other side, showing a young man, has the title Caesar spelled out in full which is unusual. Whether or not it fits with any known Alexandrian coins, I don't know but will search my books immediately upon arrival home <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. Do I see a Π on the young man side of the coin? I could believe that as a Philip II, sort of, but the reverse woman doesn't belong with him.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
