<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 2174170, member: 57495&quot;]I bought this pleasing chunk of Alexandrian bronze last month and finally received it after a bit of a wait.&nbsp; The surfaces have some texture, but it&#039;s much nicer and greener than what the seller&#039;s pictures suggested and still has plenty of detail left on both sides.&nbsp; I think I could have done worse for under $50 delivered <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p><br /></p><p><b>Question for those with the Emmett book:</b>&nbsp; Is this one in there?&nbsp; I know Emmett isn&#039;t used by everyone, but am just curious because I had understood Emmett to be the newest and one of the most comprehensive references for Alexandrian coinage.&nbsp; I already have the Dattari and Geissen numbers from the seller and they both check out.&nbsp; Also, I don&#039;t have any of the books yet myself, but seeing so many different references used for these Alexandrian issues - Dattari, Emmett, Milne, Geissen, et al - I&#039;ve been wondering which one to eventually go for, preferably one in English and with information beyond the numbers.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]420185[/ATTACH]</p><p><b>ANTONINUS PIUS</b></p><p>AE Drachm</p><p>24.24g, 33.5mmm</p><p>Alexandria, Year 15 (=151/152 AD)</p><p>Dattari 2892 bis; Geissen 1677; Kampmann/Ganschow (K&amp;G) 35.540 </p><p>O: ΑVΤ Κ Τ ΑΙΛ ΑΔΡ ΑΝΤωΝΙΝΟС СƐΒ ƐVС, laureate bust right, slight drapery.&nbsp; </p><p>R: Tyche reclining left on <i>lectisternium </i>(couch), holding rudder, resting elbow on pile of pillows and propping head on hand; L IƐ (date) above.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
