<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ambr0zie, post: 7957678, member: 80952&quot;]I have 2 Alexandria tets. I showed my Hadrian before </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1379544[/ATTACH]</p><p>Hadrian 133-4</p><p>ΑΥΤ ΚΑΙϹ ΤΡΑΙΑΝ - ΑΔΡΙΑΝΟϹ ϹƐΒ, laureate draped and cuirassed bust of Hadrian, r., seen from rear / L ΙΗ, Sarapis seated, l., holding sceptre; to l., Cerberus </p><p>25 mm&nbsp; 12.71</p><p>RPC III, 5871 , BMC 620-623 </p><p><br /></p><p>Although the coin is corroded, I like Hadrian&#039;s portrait. I consider this a good deal. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have recently added another tet, this time from Maximianus. I had no coins from him and I consider interesting to have a late provincial. Plus interesting colors. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1379545[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Tetradrachm BI</p><p>Egypt, Alexandria, Maximianus (286-305)</p><p>Obv: A K MA OVA MAΞIMIANOC CEB; laureate draped and cuirassed bust right / Rev: Homonoia (Concordia) standing left, raising right hand and holding double cornucopiae</p><p>L - Γ (= yr. 3 = A.D. 287/8).</p><p>20 mm, 7,20 g</p><p>Milne 4855v; Curtis 2091; Emmett 4141.</p><p><br /></p><p>This auction was unplanned so the budget was very limited (I wanted an Aspendos stater and a Tiberius dupondius from Commagene). I lost a nice Probus Alexandria tetradrachm, with eagle, that was probably nicer than this Maximian but I preferred adding a new emperor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
