🪙 Roman coin from Alexandria.
It was struck under the reign of Roman emperor Domitian between 86–87 CE and one side shows Domitian’s portrait. The reverse shows Nilus, the personification of the Nile, holding a cornucopia and a reed.

Tacitus may have been the first to ask, "Can a goid man serve under a bad Emperor?" His father-in-law, Agricola, had done so under Domitian, who, if Tiberius wasn't, was the Roman Nixon.
