Alexandria

This is the beginnings of my collection on coins originating in Alexandria. The collection will try to be as complete as possible on the major rulers. As money and time permit I will also try to have as complete a collection of reverse types.

Of particular interest is the collection of Gordian III. Although by no means complete, many of the major reverse types for this ruler are shown here.
