Tetradrachm of Alexandria under Probus c. 280 - 281

Editor: This is a tetradrachm from Alexandria, made under Probus. It’s so small, yet feels monumental. What stories do you think it could tell? Curator: Oh, this little marvel! It whispers tales of emperors and distant lands. The wear and tear tells me it's been clutched in countless hands, maybe even used to buy a loaf of bread in ancient Alexandria. What a journey! Editor: That's amazing. So much history in such a tiny thing! Thanks! Curator: Indeed! Isn’t it wonderful how art lets us touch the past in such an intimate way?
