Coins of Roman Egypt

Coins of Roman Egypt

The focus of Michael J. Covili’s well-organized website is Alexandrian coinage under the Romans. You can search for coins by emperor, from Aelius to Zenobia, or browse by coins of the Early Empire (the Nero coins have good definition), the Severan Dynasty, and other categories. Under Adoptive Emperors, check out the selection of copper Hadrian drachms, including a very nice example with an Agathodaemon serpent on the reverse. Resources include a page to help readers translate dates on these coins to their corresponding AD dates, as well as a glossary of coin denominations.
