Egypt, Alexandria Augustus Milne 2, AE 80 dr Obv: Hd of Augustus Rev. Eagle First Roman coin minted in Alexandria
I just recently acquired this. Sure it's worn, but for lack of better words... I'm stoked!!! I mean, this guy's brother was an emperor. His son was an emperor. His grandson was an emperor. His great-grandson was an emperor. That's a whole lot of emperor right there. One of these days, I'm going to take the time to learn how to properly photograph my coins. Until then, please bare with my crappy cheap cell-phone w/ flash pics. Nero Claudius Drusus. Died 9 BC. Æ Sestertius. Rome mint. 36mm, 28.05 g. Struck under Claudius, AD 42-54.
