Despite the slight slipping of coinage under the portraits, the pairing of Nero's portraits with his empress mother Agrippina, whom he later had suppressed, is still impressive.

A fine specimen with excellent details definition, both on the obverse with the well-crafted imperial portrait, and on the reverse, where the hand proudly displaying two earth products, indicates a particularly fertile and fruitful period in Nilotic agricultural production and pays homage to Demeter, (the harvest goddess) being particularly true in the year of the 'decennalia' of Claudius I.

The doctrine regarding Alexandrian anepigraphic bronze issues with images of the ibis/airon on obverse and the sacred bull Apis on reverse, all dating back to unspecified year 2, is still under discussion. In the absence of a convincing identification I agree with the authors who attribute them to the brief reign of Caligula, who, in any case, does not seem to have shown any particular interest in his own coinage in the Roman province of Egypt.

In general, the Alexandrian monetary production of Tiberius is very scarce despite the long period of his reign and involves a series of repetitive tetradrachms in mistura issued between years 7 (20/21 AD) and 23 (36/37 AD), while bronze coinage is limited to a few obols and dichalkoi minted between years 3 (16/17 AD) and 6 (19/20 AD). In practice, once bronze was exhausted, it switched exclusively to misture coinage.

This uncommon coin, with a grey-brown patina, is the smallest numeral minted by Augustus in Alexandria. The lunar crescent and the star refer to types from Augustan coinage in the empire latin area and, in particular the star, recalls the one depicted in the roman temple of 'divus Julius', Augustus' adoptive father (Vogt).

This very rare coin is part of the last official series minted by Augustus in Alexandria in the years of his reign from 38 to 42 (08/09 - 12/13 AD), described by RPC I as the "sixth series", bearing the dates of issue corresponding to the years of the sovereign's reign, a feature that will be constant throughout the period of autonomous Alexandrian imperial coinage (30 BC - 298 AD). The portrait is of excellent courtly style and rather youthful despite the fact that Augustus was then 73 years old.

Rare coin dating from the first period of Augustus' Alexandrian coinage following the conquest of Egypt, modelled on Cleopatra's VII last mintage (51-30 BC). Augustus in Egypt was considered a ruler of pharaonic dignity, i.e. of divine origin, as is also indicated on the overse legend 'son of the divine (Julius Caesar)', compatible however with the 'Divi Filius' expressed in the Empire Latin area at the decline of Republican Rome.
