The Alexandrian nome series provides a fascinating glimpse into the religious worship and every day life in ancient Egypt. Nomes were administrative districts, either towns or small regions, which presented their own cultural identities on coins and local art. There were 55 coin-producing nomes, many with their own unique cult deities or sacred animals. For example, the Coptite nome always featured the Dorcas gazelle; being held by Sobek-geb (Kronos) on the larger denominations, or simply standing by itself on the smallest coin. Other motifs include more common Roman or Egyptian deities such as Athena or Hermanubis. Other Egyptian themes are also popular, such as the crocodile, hippopotamus, ibis, cynocephalus (a dog-headed baboon sacred to Thoth), and Canopic jars.
The first nomes coinage was issued by Domitian in his regnal year 11 (AD 91/2) and continued in certain years through Antoninus Pius and Marcus Aurelius, as Caesar, year 8 (AD 144/5). The largest production came under Hadrian’s year 11 (AD 126/7) with over 110 types recorded. The nomes coinage produced only bronze denominations, no tetradrachms, with the larger denominations being rarer. Alexandria’s economic system was closed to the Roman currency of the day, denarii and aurei were not allowed beyond the port. The nomes coinage mirrors the Roman provincial coinage of the rest of the empire. With the billon tetradrachms circulating for larger purchases, there was a need for smaller bronze coinage at a local level.
