Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The second volume of a Catalogue of the Roman Provincial Coins from the Alexandrian Mint in the Graeco-Roman Museum in Alexandria is the result of a long-term Egyptian-Swiss-German collaboration. It contains 1655 coins of the Roman emperors Galba, Otho, Vitellius, the Flavian emperors, Nerva and Trajan (AD 68 – AD 117). As the most prolific provincial coinage of the Roman Empire, the Alexandrian coins document extensively the portraits of the Roman emperors, and convey a rich choice of reverse representations, inscriptions, and dates. Since its foundation in 1892, the Graeco-Roman Museum in Alexandria receives and keeps a considerable part of the numismatic discoveries from archaeological excavations and from accidental finds from Egypt.
