Ares standing left, holding spear and parazonium; at feet, goat standing left.RPC II 2779A (1 specimen); Dattari -.Extremely rareEgypt was structured into districts called ‘nomoi’, territories that orbited around a main city, united by the worship of a specific local divinity. Each nome had its own main god and often generated antagonism with the gods of neighboring districts, often giving rise to fierce enmities and fights. Only three Egyptian cities were outside the nomes: Alexandria, Naucratis, and Ptolemais. This system dated back to the Pharaonic period and continued until Roman times, undergoing changes in the number and names of the districts. Under Alexander the Great, an Egyptian nomarch remained at the head of the nome, but from the early Ptolemies onwards, he was replaced by a Greek military governor (strategos). In Roman times, between Domitian and Marcus Aurelius, a series of coins was struck that reproduced the ‘nomoi’ with different personifications, accompanied by the image or distinctive sign of the sacred animal peculiar to each district, or by the statue of the main deity worshipped in the district.

Isis Pharia standing right, holding sistrum and sail with serpent; before, Pharos.RPC IV.4 1107 (3 specimens); Dattari (Savio) 8577; Emmett 1592.12.Extremely rareThe Lighthouse of Alexandria was named after the island of Pharos, located in front of the city, on which it stood, and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, a list compiled in the Hellenistic age. In reconstructing the appearance of the lighthouse, the description of Strabo, who speaks of a multi-story tower built of white stone, dedicated by Sostratus of Knidos to ensure the safety of sailors, is essential. Ancient representations of the lighthouse are rather general and dated to the 1st-2nd centuries AD. For this purpose numismatic documentation proves the most useful. On coins, such as this Antoninus's drachm, some essential features of the monument can be recognized, such as the square plan of the upper lower body, equipped with overlapping windows. The two upper levels, often reduced to one, were octagonal and cylindrical in shape respectively. On the top was located the large burning fire and sculptural groups.
