<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ro1974, post: 2215090, member: 73358&quot;]Much of Hadrian’s coinage commemorates his visits to many of the important Roman provinces and served to propagandise his willingness to travel and devote his direct attention to the running of the disparate parts of the Empire. Struck towards the end of his reign and when Hadrian hadreturned to Rome, this coin falls into the ‘Province’ category, a remarkable series of issues marking Hadrian’s achievements and highlighting theextent of the Roman Empire. Egypt is shown in female form and with the distinguishing attributes of the sistrum of Isis and an ibis at her feet, while the basket of fruit or corn on which she leans could be taken to reference the grain ships that regularly sailed from Egypt back to Rome.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found some information[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
