Considering the thematic and stylistic similarities with the named piece of Arsinoe, an attribution to this city is possible. However, I still need to research what connection Serapis could have with this city.</p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/18271/tessera~0.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b><br /></b></p> <p style="text-align: center"><b>ROME</b></p> <p style="text-align: center">Æ Tessera (12mm, 0.70 g, 7 h)&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> <p style="text-align: center">Crescent and stars series</p> <p style="text-align: center">Draped bust of Serapis right, wearing calathus</p> <p style="text-align: center">Three stars over crescent</p> <p style="text-align: center">Cf.
