<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ValiantKnight, post: 3640221, member: 44210&quot;]I recently had a strong itch for something Egyptian (okay, I always do, but it was stronger than usual!), so I went and purchased this lovely Hadrian tetradrachm from Alexandria. I have always loved the chunkiness of these Roman Alexandrine tetradrachms (this one being my first from the 2nd century). I&#039;d been looking for a nice Hadrian as well since my collection lacks coins of him, so this coin scratches that itch as well. I looked at examples of this type from the same year, and I believe I noticed <a href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/hadrian/milne_1398.1.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.wildwinds.com/coins/ric/hadrian/milne_1398.1.jpg" rel="nofollow">a possible obverse die match</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>Hadrian</u>, Roman Empire</b></p><p>BI tetradrachm</p><p><b>Obv</b>: AVT KAIC TΡAIAN AΔPANOC CEB, laureate, draped, cuirassed bust right</p><p><b>Rev</b>: Serapis seated left holding sceptre, reaching out to Kerberos, LI-H across fields</p><p><b>Mint</b>: Alexandria</p><p><b>Date</b>: 133-134 AD</p><p><b>Ref</b>: Milne 1398</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]977044[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Please post your Roman tetradrachms from Alexandria![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
