<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 5661764, member: 44210&quot;]I like the fact the Romans kept the Ptolemaic eagle on some of their Alexandrine tetradrachms. This one is from around 500 years before your Claudius II:</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Ptolemy II</u>, Ptolemaic Kingdom </b></p><p>AR tetradrachm</p><p><b>Obv</b>: Diademed head of Ptolemy I right, wearing aegis</p><p><b>Rev</b>: ΠTOΛEMAIOY BAΣIΛEΩΣ, eagle standing left on thunderbolt, monogram in left field, shield in front of eagle</p><p><b>Mint</b>: Alexandria</p><p><b>Date</b>: 285-246 BC</p><p><b>Ref</b>: Svoronos 574</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/ptolemy-i-soter-ar-tetradrachm-1-jpg.831856/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Apart from your car breaking down, I can only imagine how stress-free and easy it is to drive on I-95 up in Maine.
