<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 2968741, member: 72790&quot;]Thank you. I researched that myself this afternoon and found out that they are somewhat scarce and were not even recognized as Alexandrian issues until fairly recently. Do you happen to know why they were issued for those four emperors? From Augustus to Diocletian, Roman Egypt was a closed off and sealed off monetary economy with only the Alexandrian drachmas, multiples and fractions permitted to circulate and these coins not allowed to circulate outside of Roman Egypt. I wonder why the exception and what they were used for since regular imperial coinage was not supposed to circulate within Egypt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
