Dear Friends,
I
hope this is on topic... My main interest is ancient
Egyptian scarabs,
amulets, beads and other minor
antiquities. To collectors of
Roman coins which found their way into
Egypt, I have Volume 3 of -
Mond,
Robert and Oliver H. Myers,
et al. The Bucheum, 3 vols. Ed. H.W. Fairman.
London: The
Egypt Exploration Society, 1934. it has two plates, Numbers XC, titled "
Metal Objects (Ctd) The Coin Obverses and XCI titled "
Metal Objects (CTD) The Coin Reverses". I can only guess that the 162 coins illustrated, date to the First to Second Century A.D. Since I do not have or have access to Volumes 1 and 2, I cannot tell you any more about them. The Bucheum was a sacred place where the ancient Egyptians buried the Buchis bulls. The site dates from Pre-Dynastic times down to
Roman times.
