To me it is interesting that Domitius followed the coin reform and started striking folles. I am not sure about the bottom coin - the legend looks a bit weird and may be a tooled tetradrachm of another ruler of that age. </p><p><br /></p><p>In my last trip to Egypt a German archaeological team was starting to excavate the ruins of a legionary fort built by Diocletian and adjacent to Luxor temple in Thebes.
