The coins are coppers of the later Roman Emperors. Not beautiful. Of historical interest to Alexandria. In _Case A-B_ (right) 3884—Aurelian and Vabatathe. 3896—Zenobia. In _Case C-D_ (left) 4024—Diocletian. ROUND THE WALLS: 1-8. Tapestries from the Christian cemetery at Akhmin. BACK WALL: Large and impressive statue of a mourning woman with her child. Hellenistic. Perhaps represents Berenice wife of Ptolemy III Euergetes, mourning for her little daughter—the daughter whom the priests deified in the Decree of Canopus, B.C. 239 (p. 42). ENTRANCE OF ROOM: Large Christian Jar. ROOM 5: COINS. Beautiful Byzantine gold coins. Note especially the Emperor Phocas and his conqueror Heraclius (p. 53); the latter displays the Exaltation of the Cross, recovered by him from the Persians. BACK WALL: Pilaster from the Hospice at St. Menas. The cross has been erased, probably at the Arab conquest. At each end of it, more St. Menas flasks. _Case A_: Painted masks, from the (pagan) Necropolis of Antinoe. _Case B_: Christian potteries from Kom es Chogafa. * * * * * Return to Vestibule.
