Product Description
This Historical Replica Set represents leading historical Greek and Roman leaders whose physical likeness appears on the coin's face. All six replicas were originally struck in silver.
* Alexander The Great - This Tetradrachm was produced by Ptolemy I of Egypt in 320 B.C. honoring the great warrior king who at the time of his premature death in 323 B.C. had created by conquest the largest known empire.
* Julius Caesar - The most famous of all Romans was Julius Caesar, a great military general, writer, and statesman who is credited with laying the foundation of the Roman Empire.

With the death of Cleopatra, Egypt became a Roman province in 31 BCE. The Mark Anthony Cistphorus on its reverse shows the bust of Octavia flanked by two snakes. Cleopatra's coin was probably made in Ascalon, Judea. It shows and eagle standing with closed wings.
