The meaning of life can be found in a coin.

Vespasian and Sarapis

My latest coin is a fine diobol from Alexandria struck for Vespasian and featuring Sarapis on the reverse.

I've always been intrigued by the cult of Sarapis. The creation of the cult under Ptolemy I Soter by his advisors was done in order to religiously fuse the Greek and Egyptian subjects of the realm. Thus, the worship of Osiris and the Apis Bull were successfully combined into one deity whose cult would last many centuries.
